To find the List name of Hidden SharePoint List, try opening the Site in SharePoint Designer 2013. You will be able to see all the hidden List. Including the Comment.Guid List. U Can un Hide it from there.

To your actual problems, modern Page comments are not stored in the Hidden List. They are now moved to a different datastore but accessible via rest api. Check this link https://www.vrdmn.com/2017/07/working-with-page-comments-rest-api-in.html

I am essentially trying to notify a list of 'Followers' whenever a new comment is made on a particular site page.
