Update: The quest to obtain Old Murk-Eye is no longer available with the introduction of Standard format as he cannot be played in Standard. The only way to obtain this card is through the crafting system now. Information below has been kept to be historically accurate.
Historical Info
Old Murk-Eye was a reward from the quest Mrglglglgl!, which requires you to unlock all of the Murlocs in the Basic and Expert card sets. There is a Golden version of the card that is also available through a different quest, Golden Mrglglglglgl!, which requires you to collect all the Golden Murlocs in the Basic and Classic card sets.
You only need to have one of each Murloc for quest completion and not two. Below is a list of the Murlocs required for both achievements, and how you can obtain them.

FEELS GOOD MAN
I recently completed the quest to get Old Murk-Eye and the notification popped up yet I did not get the card.
Has this happened to anyone else
this happened to me. All cards view as well.
He is not available in wild nor standard and the card does not show up in the collection even if you choose "include uncraftable cards".
However, he was brought in game on one occasion by the murloc knight.
Blizz fucked up he got summoned from murloc knight in standard
For me too! I won a game thanks to him :D
QUESTS RE-ENABLED FOR A SHORT TIME
Blizzard support now says:
"UPDATE: In response to recent feedback and levels of interest, we will be re-enabling the Quests to acquire Old Murk-Eye and Captain’s Parrot starting with the launch of Whispers of the Old Gods in your region. These Quests will be re-enabled until Sunday, May 1 at 11:59 PM PDT. We expect this to be a one-time only extension for these quests as part of our rollout of the standard and wild formats.
If you have met the requirements to acquire Old-Murk Eye and/or Captain’s Parrot and have not yet received your reward, please re-log into Hearthstone after Whispers of the Old Gods goes live in your region to receive them.
Whispers of the Old Gods will release on the following days for each region:
I should mention that just before this entry's end, they still include the old language that "After the official release of Whispers of the Old Gods, Captain’s Parrot and Old Murk-Eye will only be available through crafting." I surmise that they left this one sentence in by mistake since the final sentence says "Please note that since we’re re-enabling the quest, our Support team will no longer be assisting with this, and there is thus no need for you to submit additional Support requests regarding these cards," a sentence consistent with the overall message conveyed by this entry.
Thanks God
Goodnight sweet prince, Murlocs will never be the same.
You can still get it by opening a support ticket if you meet the requirements before the old gods goes live (according to reddit comments they give you dust instead of card itself)

Can confirm it works
how do you even open a support ticket? Most hearthstone tickets redirect you to create a forum thread instead...
upd: issue solved through live chat customer support, nice and easy. Choose "account"->"not listed here" when creating the ticket, as "gameplay" section just re-routes you to the forums instead.
as of 25.04 (post-patch, pre-expansion) he is neither craftable, nor obtainable as reward.
Quite a few people being pissed off about it on the official forums, since ambiguous wording in the patch notes suggested you could still get it from the quest for these last couple days before standard rotates in.
Same

Should I craft a golden Murloc Tidecaller to get the golden Murk-Eye before old gods release?? Help!
Can Old-Murk Eye be disenchanted post-rotation?
Yes
It's still doable as of April 16th, 2016.
Just crafted a War leader to get him... Eh, worst cast scenario: I don't use either and just disenchant them both for a 100 dust profit.
saw this dudes comment and i realized i just needed to craft a grim scale oracle and I completed the quest and got old grump eye
just got today, because i got warleader in pack tavern brawl :)
