How can i calculate the remaining life of my hard disk drive? It's a 1 TB Seagate barracuda 7200 rpm from 2011 which i have partitioned into 130 GB and 800 GB, and ~ 100 GB free space is left.

You really cannot calculate that, your best bet is to run the Seagate SeaTools software on the drive to insure that all the values are indicating a good drive.

And always use good backup practices because all HDDs eventually fail.

There is no calculation.
Once in a while run the manufacturers diag tool.

And have a viable, tested backup.
All drives die eventually. If you wait for symptoms to appear, you waited too long.
