Depends on the age of the HDD

Not if the disc doesn't spin

I have an old laptop. I got it around 2011 and it turns on. Could I take it to someone to restore the lost data? However, it's been years since I've used it.

Burn a linux liveCD to a USB and boot from that, then you can try and recover the data yourself before wasting money on someone who does just that.

Old age, lots of moving parts in the HDD, and if one fails it can all come crashing down.
