My question: what has ALE to do with decent power management of the 8051?

Nothing whatsoever!

That figure is illustrating the use as a Watchdog - with ALE providing the "pat" (or "kick" or "feed") for the dog.

Note that this is not a terribly effective watchdog; eg, it won't help if your code gets stuck in a loop!
