Not much you can do after it’s been storage. Boot it up. It will work or it wont.

in datahoarder@selfhosted.forum•How to fully format external HD without leaving it running for days?

You need to perform a low level format to get all of the bad sectors marked. After that, you can partition and perform a normal format. When that is complete, if it still shows as bad in CrystalDickInfo, I wouldn’t trust it.
