Hello everyone, i've changed alot of parts in my PC recently, but didn't change HDD, Decided to test it and see if i could use it some more.
This is what S.M.A.R.T gave me:

Error scan:

It's Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500gb, got it for over 6 years, and as u can see on screenshot it has 27k+ hours power on under his belt. I can also mention that i had no problems with it over all these years, and till this day it seem to work as intended (almost all 500 gb of space is used)
Would u guys suggest to replace the drive looking at all these warnings and one failed test ?
Thank You in advance.

The Reallocated, Pending and Uncorrectable sectors indicate that the drive is now starting to develop read problems. I wouldn't trust it with my critical data.

The "failed" attribute is telling you that at one time the temperature rose to 55C.

The large numbers make more sense if you view them in hexadecimal.

For example, the number of Command Timeouts is actually only 1.

4 295 032 833 = 0x000100010001

if it works it works... obviously you should back up important data. Are you in the habit of replacing things that work fine?

No one kills modern drives every three years. unless they abuse them. Thankfully I have seen Dunlop's other answers today and no he is clueless

Not really, but i'm worried to loose data from it and my external 500 gb is also full atm ^^
On other threads i've read that reallocated sectors most likely mean that drive gonna die soon and it's time to replace it.

The first thing I would worry about is finding a backup solution that can store all of your data. Hard drives fail all the time, both old and new and if you value your data, you need to be ready in case of a failure.

Thanks for all the responses, now i understand what's going on with it, like u suggested i'll buy WD green for data backup while still using current drive.
Special thanks to fzabkar for explaining, now that i think of it i did notice very recently some slow reads from this drive.
