I recently experience serious system (XP SP3) lags and random high cpu usage. I did a lot of troubleshootings and suspect that my HDD is the culprit.
Can someone please help me to evaluate the HDDScan SMART report?

Your drive has bad sectors, back up the data if it's important and replace the drive.

Thanks for your help, I'm just curious about which part of the report shows about bad sectors?

005, 197 and 198. There is still hope, anyway, before doing radical action : copy all data to another drive, then ZERO FILL / SECURITY ERASE the drive (WARNING : ALL DATA WILL BE LOST !) then recheck. If the values are now zero, it's OK. If not or the problem re-appears, ask a pro in your area to refurb it (pro gear required).

I have reformatted it not long ago (less than 2 months) when I experienced system lags and freezes. So I think I'll just backup the datas and replace it.

Thank you guys~
