Unfortunately, in both cases the drive will not working again. If data is important seek for the nearest DR firm near you.
good luck

Is there another term for "slow response" that I could look up?

if its weak head you might kill the heads while trying to do anything, which will make it more pricey for the client
you also might cause bad sectors in the SA while trying to fix that (IF ITS slow response) slow response

You need tools. Start with something like MHDD and check if the drice can be picked up (ID) by MHDD or if it's stuck on BSY.
Does it spin at all ? I guess so.
Does it make clicking sound ? I hope not ....
If MHDD can pick up the drive and it's not stuck on BSY try "smart att" and check if you have pending sectors and re-located sectors. If the drive is stuck on BSY and you can't ID then just guive up. You will need to block SA access to go any further and it will not be a simple mission.
If MHDD can still ID the drive and "scan" it (verify) you might be able to apply a slow fix with something like WDMarvel or HDDSuperTool and clone the drive with HDDSuperClone ...
