Looks like a failing head or the drive has a scratch or other media failure. Entropy is a most frequent culprit . . .

The drive is an Advanced Format model:

A Reallocated Sector Count of 16376 looks much too big to be real, but if you interpret it as a Reallocated LBA Count, then the actual number of reallocated physical sectors is 2047 (= 16376 / 8). In hexadecimal that equates to 0x7FF. To me it looks like the drive may have maxed out.

An LBA is a logical sector. For compatibility reasons, an Advanced Format drive still emulates 512-byte sectors. It's called 512e.

That is a big warning sign to you.

Yes, of course, that is a normal result for the likely types of problem which jono-ats kindly explained to you. Since you don't need the data from this drive, then there is no point in any further DIY attempt, so just replace the drive.

I can think of one other, less likely, possible cause for the very limited info you have given - but the easiest test for that hypothesis is just to replace the drive, and make sure that similar symptoms don't occur again with another drive.
