You should install a drain to prevent stagnant water from accumulating and hopefully prevent bacteria such as legionnaire or other water borne diseases and most importantly this drain should empty as an indirect waste as per modern codes

Water in home HVAC drip pan?
Water in the HVAC drip pan usually indicates blockage in the condensate drain line and or inside the plenum. Remove the condensate drain line where it attaches to the unit and check for blockages. If no blockages are found in the line or no water drains from the plenum, then open up the access panel to expose the A-coil. Clean out any debris or blockages as needed. Pour Clorox down the condensate drain line and make sure that the line is sloping to the exterior. It may be necessary to blow the line out. Check the discharge side of the drain line to be sure water is flowing. Note: It is recommended to have a licensed HVAC technician service the system to be sure that it is functioning properly.

Disconnect drain line and put on a hose and let it drain into a 5 gallon bucket. Double check drain pan for a hole that might have rusted through. You can temporarily plug drain hole and fill pan with water (like from a pitcher) to find leak. Should hold 1/2" to 1" of water. You can repair hole with JB Weld 2 part epoxy for BOATS.

What is the purpose of AC drain pan Is it for overflow or does the AC drain into it?
I am not an HVAC personel, but I have worked maintenance, and see quite a few different styles. I guess it really depends. I have seen drain pans that have little pumps in them and it pumps the condensed water into a condensation line, and I have also seen it drained directly into a condensation line. It really depends on how your a-coil is set, and if other a/c units are vertically stacked or in a horizontal row. If it is low to the floor and it has no drain lines near it, it will probably have a pan with a pump, but it is more efficient to have one drain, and a condensation line that stacks all the units. I have never seen one that drained just into a pan, I'd think that would kind of defeat the purpose of extracting humidity from a building.
How do you unclog an AC drain line?
There is a pan to collect the water. You could use compressed air to blow out the line, but you should take off the cover at the coil and clean the pan and coil. Also if you use compressed air, don't over do it. The pressure could blow off the drain line. You can use a product called Mighty Pump if the drain line comes out outside the home. You attach the Mighty Pump hose to the drain line and pump it a few times and it will suck out the line from the drain pan out which cleans the whole line. It has a lot of suction power and uses no electric. I
