A lot of errors. Did you try pending bug solution? I doubt it will work (i think more serious problem is there) but it doesn't hurt to try...

yep i tryed. head swap worked, looks like this old drive flake the platter and lead to head contamination..
data all recovered, happy customer.
i love when hard drives have got only 1 head

Good job

Congrats.
