I drive a 1990 Lincoln Continental and friend of mine said power steering pump is going out on it, and it sounds awful and power on take off is sluggish.

There are a couple of posibilities.
1. The vanes in the pump are making the sound and the pump has gone bad to the point where it is limiting the ability for the engine to move "free". Meaning there is a strong resistance on the pump against the engine.
2. Most cars use the power stearing pump as a vacume as well as a pump. If the pump is so bad it may not be generating the appropriate vacume for other componets and causing the rought idle.

not often. very last 365 days my artwork truck slid off a woodland highway into the trench (in snow), and dealing to get the truck out of the trench I held the steerage hostile to the stop for a even as. The bypass interior the pump stuck open, which killed not in elementary words the steerage help although the brake help (that is a diesel truck). The pump had to get replaced. except that I have not heard of it doing any damage.

It would make it sound like a logging truck possibly. But that would not account for the poor performance.
