If the connector with print you can't read is similar in size to a mobile phone
charge port, then it's probably USB-C. However, 12 years old it's probably not
that. Most likely if its not DVI, not VGA, not a mini-HDMI, and your PC is not a
Mac, it's a DisplayPort. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort has pictures 
of
DP connector types. A standard size DP connector is slightly wider and similar 
in
thickness to standard HDMI. Inexpensive passive adapters are available to 
convert
DP output ports to HDMI, DVI and VGA, but not the other way around. DP outputs
that aren't too old can be split or chained, so that a single computer output 
can
provide output to up to something like 8 or 9 displays.
