Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Can someone explain whether or not these increasing actually means your drive needs to be replaced? I see such varied responses when googling. My drive has a raw value of 10 for Current_Pending_Sector and 1 for Offline_Uncorrectable. My GSmartControl is yelling at me constantly, but it's just those same values. Do I actually need to replace the drive? It *is* almost eight years old, so I plan to anyway, but I just want to understand and make sure I don't replace things unnecessarily.
