Must be a "Hitgate" and spelling errors on the label, have seen these on E-bay.
Wonder why they label them as Seagate, only reason i can think of is to keep the price low :)

Yes. there is a spelling error on label . Only one error i could see. The Chinese man is advancing English.
..as you can see in the picture.

owner of this hdd tried to recover pcb via changing Motor chip without NVram.
he waste one healhty PCB. Hdd with this PCB gives bad some sound and stops.

Original PCB was made in Taiwan . other one was made in China.. or vice versa..

So... can't understand why did the original seller had to print (fake) a new ST label
