SATA (Serial ATA)
According to http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/SATA, it stands for "Serial Advanced Technology Attachment." The "ATA" in "SATA" therefore stands for "Advanced Technology Attachment."
A serial hard drive is the same as a SATA hard drive. SATA is Serial ATA, and PATA is Parallel ATA.
SATA is ATA, but there are many ATA. SATA is an acronym for Serial AT Attachment, AT being the successor to the PC standard of desktop computers. There are many ATA standards, lots, but short answer is they are outdated Paralel, so we coined a new term to cover all the old ATA devices: PATA.

No, it does not have SATA instead it has older standard ATA. They are not interchangeable.
SATA , ATA and SCSi
3.5 inch refers to the width of the drive. SATA (serial ATA) is the drive interface.
PATA or Parallel ATA, is the old standard for connecting Disk Drives, while SATA is the newer ones. PATA , in comparison with SATA, has 1) Bulky Connectors which could restrict airflow, maximum length is restricted to 18 ". 2) PATA requires 5 V to run against SATA's 250 mV. 3) PATA is slow, with max transfer speed of 133 MBps while SATA is currently at 400 or 500 MBps. SATA: Often abbreviated SATA or S-ATA, an evolution of the Parallel ATA physical storage interface. Serial ATA is a serial link -- a single cable with a minimum of four wires creates a point-to-point connection between devices. Transfer rates for Serial ATA begin at 150 MBps and SATA II 300MBps. One of the main design advantages of Serial ATA is that the thinner serial cables facilitate more efficient airflow inside a form factor and also allow for smaller chassis designs.
Serial port generally refers to Serial ATA port. These Serial ATA ports are better known as "SATA" ports. You will find them on Hard Drives and Solid State Drives specifically. But you may also find them on peripherals such as card readers for Flash media and Optical Drives. SATA is categorized into 3 categories SATA, SATA II and SATA III. The Function of SATA is to transfer data. Previous to SATA, Computers used "IDE" service which was far slower and more expensive to manufacture than SATA.
I believe that the standard as of 2012 is SATA.
