The free body diagram on the right refers to the forces on the rodrod. $H_y$ is the force the hinge exerts on the rod. The weight of the hinge would be the force gravity exerts on the hinge. The hinge is attached to the wall. It is not part of the rod, so its weight is not part of the free body diagram for the rod.
