Repaired for future use, no.

Temporary fix for data recovery, possibly.

But not by DIY

So specialist said:

- heads is a problem, and the magnet "thing" is out of order, and
it can't be fixed.

Is he right ?
What is proper action here:

- sell for parts or
can be fixed ?

pcimage already gave you your answer.

And you can sell anything on ebay, just whether you get a buyer or not. Probably not worth much though.

Best method for storing important data, you asking to DR people?

Go'n get a few stone plates and a burin/dremel.

a backup system that can make losing a HDD an unimportant event far outweighs any brand recommendations. Effort is best spent on figuring out how to backup than searching for a bulletproof drive
