Solution
your hdd is likely dead. You can try using recovery software to get some files back, like recuva. Otherthan that you can try getting a replacement from seagate under warranty maybe.

the hard drives cannot be fixed by everyday tools, they are designed for one off use, if it does not not work, probably it is the end of it.
You can get the data off the hard drive, but the compay who does that has a clean room and special tools to do so
