What you describe really isn't unusual.
In times past many construction workers with 3 prong plug
power tools and two prong outlets would simply break off
the ground and plug it in. They make a 3 prong adaptor so
it can plug into a two prong outlet which is a far better
choice.
I am a bit confused however. If this is a separate wire
that is not a part of the power supply of the unit, the I
can see only one purpose. That would be to remove any
static electricity that could build up on the unit and
that might potentially collect dust. What kind of
connector is on the end if anything? If that is the case,
clipping it to any thing metal probably would suffice,
but I have never heard of an enlarger with this set up.
Maybe others have. Any chance you can put a photo
somewhere online and post the link?
If this is a standard Omega 4x5 condenser head (not dichro
or CL), there
is no "power supply". There is just the power cord going
into the
bulb socket. If memory servers, the original units had an
on-off
rocker switch in line with the power cord.

That's how my Omega D2V is, just a power cord with a
rocker switch. Its a two -wire cord, heavy duty lampwire.
