Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the L5973AD?

Yes. The symbol is EasyEDA_Cloud:L5973AD and the footprint EasyEDA_Cloud:SOP-8_L4.9-W3.9-P1.27-LS6.0-TL-EP-1, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the L5973AD?

SOP-8-EP, with 9 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the L5973AD datasheet?

STMicroelectronics publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the L5973AD?

JLCPCB lists it as part C1355773, with 10 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the L5973AD?

Parts like it in the library: the TPS5450DDA by Texas Instruments and the AAP6040ASW8 by SG Micro. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the L5973AD?

1 board in 1 repository on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
