Based on your description of the drive's behaviour, you have likely caused internal mechanical damage. Therefore IMHO you will need to use the services of a suitably experienced DR company, if you want to try to recover the files - so you need to decide how valuable the files are to you. Being realistic, doing mechanical work on 2.5" disks is not DIY
Stop powering-on the drive - that might cause further damage, depending on what has actually happened inside the drive.
