It has not occured to me to loose power due to loose power cord.
Well....it's good you aren't losing power.
....and being that you aren't....you haven't screwed anything up yet.
....but I think if it gets looser and looser....you might....which is why I would either change the power cord.....or figure out a way to make that one tighter.
Maybe you can put a couple wraps of electrical tape around the plug to make it tighter.
In general....I don't think if you lose power a few times due to the loose power cord that it's going to hurt the PSU. I would be more concerned with the files getting corrupted.

That being said, I would do something to fix it. New power cords are cheap.
