It's a C730UZ. My previous Olympus had a similar arrangement.
I sometimes buy my technology in the Canary Islands where we go
at least once a year. They are in a tax-free zone (just don't
tell Customs!) so I'm just about to upgrade to a SP560UZ which
someone posting in this thread said also does direct USB
transfers.
One of the sockets on your camera might be an old-fashioned
serial port. One of my previous cameras had one consisting of a
3.5mm jack socket. Serial transfer canes the batteries as it's
very slow but it's possible to get a mains power supply for
Olympus cameras. They're quite powerful for a wall-wart (2 amps
at 6.5 volts) so they're expensive when new but you should be
able to find one on eBay.
