Very likely the format won't work anyway even if you weren't bothered about the data, because the drive is now unusable. You should not have relied on one hard drive, your data needs to be on at least two drives so you have a backup.

I've been there, done the same thing as you (no backups). Then the drive failed. Not a good feeling.
Now I save my data on four external hard drives so data loss does not hit me again.

You can almost never recover a faulty HDD by yourself. There are companies who can, but that's going to cost you money, probably more than a new harddrive. If the data on it is very important to you, you can consider sending it to a hard drive recovery service.
