I had a seagate looking like that lasting for years, even sold it after replacing it, but you should start looking into replacing it indeed...
Love your theme btw

Reallocated sectors are never a good thing and you can be sure there will be more to come. Replace it while you still get data off of it.

Looks like that isn't your system drive, if you don't mind losing data stored in it, you can use it until it dies

Id replace the drive.... soon. It's a 2009 vintage HD ...could be as much as 11 years old, it served its Owner(s) well, put it to rest. Performance has changed a lot in 11 years.
We haven't bought a HD in almost 9 years. Every build gets at least 1 SSD and 1 SSHD, as often as not 2 of each
Over last 5 years
SSDs (Mostly Samasung Pro Line) : 0 Replacements
SSHDs (Mostly Seagates) : 0 Replacememts
Over last 8.? years
SSDs: 3 Replacements (one warranty replacement also failed)
SSHDs (Mostly Seagates) : 0 Replacements
Some comparative RMA data
RMA Rates or WD Black = 1.45%
RMA Rates or Seagate SSHD = 1.44%
Boot Times
Boot Time SSD = 15.6 secs
Boot Time SSHD = 16.5 secs
Boot Time HD = 21.6 secs
