Put a drain through it. It would be easy to drill through with the right equipment. You need to find someone with a core drill. My rock mason crew had one. There are also companies that specialize in this service.

It’s a beast, but see if you can go under it. You may need a dry well on the other side or run it to the street, but you need to get it out of your yard.
Or, dig a deep well and use 18” wide corrugated/perforated pipe, backfilled with stone to hopefully drain itself.

1) Core drill the wall and run a drain pipe. Could be a nightmare getting through the wall and you still don’t really have much fall to work with.
2) Sump pump to move the water below the wall and out to the street. Needs power, but avoids some of the other headaches.
3) Dry well to let the water percolate into the soil. Success will depend entirely on your soil type, rainfall amount, well size, etc. getting this right is very important. If this backs up you have a pond, and unless you can move it significantly further away from your foundation than you have room for in the pic, I wouldn’t go this route.

A dry well? A deep one.
