I don't think you can recover the drive and its data, if it's still in warranty, see if they'll take it and fix it

If not in warranty or they won't take it, try removing the HDD from the enclosure and plugging it into a computer directly

Hi,
You can find the info related to a clicking hard drive on this link. Since your drive fell, it is likely to be a head issue or damages on the SA...if so you can diagnose with MHDD which is a free software from hddguru.  

If this is not a head issue, the the live pcb swap might be the option if you can make sure this a SA issue.

yeah! you can recover your files. As you have wrote that hard drive has fallen from the table after which it has stopped showing in the BIOS so, problem here is that your hard drive has experienced physical hard drive failure. This physical hard drive failure occur when the mechanical components of the hard drive comes in trouble. So, the best solution to recover your data in this failure is to consult a data recovery company. Please don't tamper with your hard drive because it can cause more damage to your drive.
