M-x locate-library RET ob-rec RET

In my case, ob-rec was not present (but see below).

I downloaded recutils-1.7.tar.gz from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/recutils/
and, after unpacking it, found rec-mode.el and ob-rec.el in the etc/

Maybe you can add a pointer to where to get it (and a few words about

   http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages.html

on Worg. N.B. the language should be "rec", not "rec-utils".
