Have a client who just sold their S corporation (stock sale); Bank needs "IRS confirmation letter" to change signature cards [new owner is keeping same Fed ID#] as well as a "Certificate in Good Standing". Where/how do we get these documents?

Certificate of good standing comes from the state where they incorporated.
IRS confirmation letter for what? Sale of S Corp stock isn't separately reportable to IRS.

I don't know what the IRS Confirmation Letter refers to. this is from a list of things needed that the bank sent to my client. It says "required for all new entities and new owners" I have the S election letter but it is over 20 years old, so I don't think that's what they are talking about.

Your client likely presented this incorrectly to the Bank; it's not a New Entity. They would likely accept a copy of the minutes and agreed on resolution for new officers.

I hope the bank was wrong. We will be providing the 20+year S corp approval letter from the IRS as well as minutes from both old and new owners' meetings to accept the offer and to codify the purchase.
