Hello - Picked up a cheap surgex unit, and planning to replace the damaged power cord.
Questions:
Any massive current storage in these units that I need to be wary of?
For the shielded replacement cable, do I just sort of gather up the shielding and attach to the ground nut?
Thanks!

The advice with any unknown is to assume worst case. Although it is unlikely anything will be charged you also have to think what if it is faulty and a resistor or something is open...
It is only a minutes work to stick a meter across the caps and see. Those yellow caps (if they are across L and N) are typical of the ones that can bite unexpectedly if there is no discharge path for them.
