Oh dear.....

I'd say it was an accident waiting to happen, but looks like it already has :-(

That band that you see on the top platter is a giant scratch, it should be a perfect mirror across the entire surface. Toss the drive and consider it a life lesson learned.

Unfortunately there is nothing else to do.
