This exterior vent does not have anything on the other side of the wall, so what is it for? I looked inside and think there may be some of the dreaded black mold.
Thanks!
What kind of vent is this?

I'm stumped. Where are you located? Since it's broken I would search for a new one online, measure it and search for that size. Once you have it take the old one out. If it has mold where a mask. Kill the mold and put the new vent in. Try to find one that has a screen on it so critters can't get in there. When you take the old one off you can try to figure out what the vent is for.

Do you have a gas dryer? It might have been installed as a fresh air vent to bring air in for the dryer to work properly.

Thats the 'Pressure Balancing Damper' for the blend air system mentioned in the HVAC articles here;

Edit: but you should have one right on the opposite side of the wall on the inside. Mine is also about a foot above the floor behind the dryer in the laundry room and the exterior vent looks just like your picture, even with a couple fins broken too.
I wonder if someone removed the interior vent while ding a little remodeling...
