Is it possible to bring such a hard drive back to life?
here are screenshots from hd tune
is it worth looking for some kind of resuscitation method or is there nothing to be done?
for example split into sections avoiding bad blocks, or will their number grow?

Why bother with an incomprehensible and possibly already dying screw, isn't it easier to buy a new one?
Do in the same place, in HD Tune, filling the entire disk with zeros and in SMART see if the value of parameter 05 has increased. If so, then alas, the number of bad sectors will only grow.
I would run mhdd erase, and then hdd regenerator and repeat the mhdd check just for reading and then I would look further at changing values in smart
I would unscrew the board, clean all the contacts with a rubber band, then plug it into a new power supply or a known good one, and run the MHDD program with the REMAP parameter activated twice. If the result has not changed on the second run, hello magnets.
Well, his flop. With a high probability, it will die and take all the data with it.
Through Victoria, close bad sectors, then low-level formatting in the same place. Still running.
With a high probability, it will fail again and again.
Are you making backups or not yet?
thanks for the advice, now I'll try everything in turn, and I'll make a report
Sector bits are a mysterious thing, as a rule, their appearance does not shine, in my practice, most often after closed bads, new ones appear within a short time, and, in fact, you can put an end to the screw. But you can’t call it very rare cases when, after remapping, the screw lives happily ever after. One of our service engineers used this trick:
He took one of the many programs that are designed to permanently destroy data, such as Eraser , and start the data destruction procedure using some cruel overwrite algorithm, for example, Peter Gutmann's Algorithm, and ran it several times (this was quite a long time, as a rule, they left it overnight), after which they checked the screw again, if no new bads appeared on it, then the client could say with a certain degree of certainty that the screw was still running. (although a backup, of course, and it is no longer possible to store critical data on it)
