You'll want to download it again from wherever you first got it from.
--That's no problem at all. I still have the original .sea.hqx file.

You'll have to transfer the original .hqx file over to the Classic and decompress it on there.
--That is what is this all about.

The easiest way you'll be able to do it is via a floppy disk. You could make a segmented zip archive, put the segments on different floppies, and then use a Zip extractor such as ZipIt to extract it on your Classic, if you have one.
---But the Classic won't ever read a Window$ pc-formatted floppy with a .zip segment of nothing. :-/ If I make a segmented .zip archive and put the segment in different floppies (seems easy), as soon as I put the first floppy onto the Mac, it will claim saying «This is not a Macintosh disk. Do you want to initialize it?»

Do you have any other old Macs, perferably one with both an ethernet port and a LocalTalk port, or a external CD-ROM drive for your Classic?
---No, I don't. So the question is still there: How do I transfer the segments to the Mac? I suppose that by means of .img binary image files, one per each segment and floppy. But...how do I create .img binary images?

Help is always appreciated. Meanwhile I have been googling for «.img binary creating files» and the like, but to date nothing useful is found :'( :'(
