Hi there Krisius,

My suggestion would be to back up the data stored on the drive.

It seems that there are no bad sectors on it. Yet, the CRC error count and the Calibration Retry count could be related to a mechanical flaw.
Once you back up your data, I would suggest you to attach the drive with different SATA and power cables to another SATA port. Also, you can measure your system's temps when under load.

I believe that 8 years is quite some time for an HDD. You can consider getting a new HDD/SSD and keep that one for storing non important data.

Cheers,

Yes, the SMART errors are definite signs that your hard drive is not in the best condition. It would be a good time to backup your data and replace your hard drive before you lose any critical files.
