It is, as stated, an old HDD. It's going to get hot, and there's little to do besides minimize the usage, or put it near a fan. Many cases these days come with their drive cages installed near the front fans, which is purposely for this issue.

Heat can effect the drive in many ways but the biggest is reduced life. Most cases have a front mount for fans to cool drives so maybe you need one or a better one. Here is some good high CFM case fans.

some cases like mine had a 80mm fan for the hard drive bay that could help in the cooling of your drive if applicable
look up your drives spec sheet and see whats listed as normal operating temps range
