I don't remember that particular Corolla having such a complex positive battery terminal. The additional wiring may have been placed to feed power directly to some car components. In any case, if you replace the terminals, be careful to remove each wire and reattach it in sequence. I am afraid they are there for a purpose. Can you ask the person who sold you the car if he knows anything about it?
@guruYBTC8 you can't miss it tbh iv never seen anything like it before its definitely a stock part I'm new to site how do I directly reply to I'd like to show ya picture of it

I think I found the part that you are talking about. Google 1990 Toyota Corolla battery fuse box. You'll see it there, instructions to remove it, where to buy it. Hope this helps.
This is it it looks old so I def thought it was original but I will look into that now
