I downloaded Sentinel and it shows that my HDD is at 1% health. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hit it with a hammer once and then recycle it? No but seriously look at the SMART to get the details. Get any data off now and from the SMART report, determine if it is reliable at all. If not I'd go ahead and recycle it.

No, you can't fix physical problems (besides the circuit board). It would come to replacing components such as platters, read/write heads, etc, which is prohibitively expensive labor wise.

save all data from it and you could test it using the drive maker tool.

After you get the data off, yeah doesn't sound like a bad idea
