It may have failed (bad news) or it may simply be the SATA-to-USB bridge chip (a small circuit board in the enclosure) that s faulty.
If it's the former, data can only be recovered by a data recovery specialist. If it's the latter, you can remove the actual drive and put it into a third-party enclosure, then there's a good chance it will work.
Loss of data can be avoided by keeping it backed up at all times. Saving important data on just one drive is asking for trouble.
