End of hard drive life?

Question

Iron

The hard drive has been serving for more than 3 years, judging by the values, it will die soon.
The most frightening thing is the response time, in my opinion it is a lot.
Should I start transferring data to another drive or can I still use it?
How and how can you determine the state (how close the end is) of a hard drive?
