Help understanding S.M.A.R.T Data

Hi Everyone, sorry to be a pain but I was wondering if anybody could help me better understand these results. Not sure if the drive is actually having problems or the program is exaggerating. I have no real idea what any of this stuff means for sure or if it is that severe, thanks a bunchSCreenshot.png

Thanks again, sorry for being a noob about this stuff

It is not dead yet, but it shows that one sector is bad but not yet reallocated. You should run a wipe program from your HDD manufacturer to reallocate that bad sector, after that you will see that bad sector will move to parameter 05 Reallocated Sector Count. If the parameter is not increasing rapidly after you use it, sometimes you can still use that drive for a quite long time, but make sure to backup your data to a healthier HDD. I've seen some HDD with some reallocated sectors still works after months or years until it increase to a couple hundred and unusable anymore because it is so slow and corrupted their files.
