Although I don't agree with everything it says, for starters read this Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

You can see that the main concern for your drive is SMART attribute 0x01 (explained in that article). The non-zero value of attribute 0xC6 may also be giving you a hint about genuine problems, as some sectors are currently unreadable

If you have backed-up your data (which seems to be what you are saying), then now you don't need to care whether the disk deteriorates some more, or not.

Unfortunately I don't understand exactly what you are now asking. :( No-one can predict exactly when a disk will fail, and not all disk problems result in immediate & complete failure - for example, poor performance may cause someone to decide to stop using a disk, even before there are unrecoverable read errors.

If you want to use this (likely failing) disk until it's symptoms become more obvious, then you can do that - it's your risk and your choice. :) But beware that you might get zero warning of further (perhaps catastrophic) problems - SMART is already telling you that the disk firmware believes the disk is not operating normally.

That's the best reply I can give, for the questions I think you are asking.

Understand that I am using a translator because I do not speak English, I am saying that that is what is wrong with this hard drive, so I read the hard disk has a parameter below the limit made ​​by the manufacturer and that there slope failure, this is so? Thank you!

Yes, I already guessed that.

I cannot give any different answer than before, due to the problems in translation (e.g. "slope failure"?). :(

Let's be more clear, I come to this forum that I can give a clear answer as in the other forums are hardware enthusiast alone, which is what is wrong with this hard drive? Indicating the rate of read errors? , Understand the question? It is advisable to change the hard drive? What would you do in this situation?

Impossible for me to answer this - the SMART information alone is not enough information. Many other factors would be part of my decision.

I have already replied (or linked to information) to your other questions, as far as I understand them. Therefore I think the language / translation / expectation problems here are too much, so I will stop and perhaps someone else will reply differently to you. Good luck!
