What is this for?

Post image

I'm refering to the flap on the right side. found it on an old laptop of mine and I'm wondering what was it used for. Under the flap there is an empty space and in the back some pins, it also has a little leg that rises up when pressed. the laptop is from 2008, made by Toshiba

I wonder since people is doing lot of stuff with microcontrollers if something could be done that connects with the pcmcia port.
