SCA 8 Cylinder Jum Starter PLU 562417. I lost the charger for this jump starter, and the company I bought it from doesn't have spare parts. How can I charge it?

I think that connector is an SAE connector.
The power adaptor is 12V 1.5A (pretty easy to find, won't matter if you get a higher current one).
You could make one (or search Amazon/Jaycar/AliExpress).

Just get a battery charger and clip on to the jumper clips, that is what I did.
Somethink like this is the cheapest I could find.
If you have an old 12VDC wall wart that is not a switch mode PSU, cut the end off, put on a couple of crocodile clips and hey presto.
Donlt leave the charger connected all the time, use for a few hours every few weeks to keep topped up.

I know enough to be dangerous
I too, would just clip my car charger to the crocodile leads. (it's a 5 A Ctek smart charger, but it has the option to turn down to 0.5A). Being a smart charger, that one would be fine to leave connected for months.
If you want to build a dedicated charger, assuming that socket is directly connected to the SLA battery inside, you would want a 12V sla charger (will run at 14.4V for bulking then ~13.6V float), not a 12v power adaptor.
For example this one:

Note this one is not suitable for leaving connected for a long time.
