Thank you for confirming it. It is time to finally replace it. I ran 
Linux's badblocks command on this unmounted dying drive as suggested 
from my Linux friend:

# badblocks -s -o list_of_bad_blocks.txt /dev/sda5
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test):   0.02% done, 27:23 elapsed. 
(47/0/0 errors)
# cat list_of_bad_blocks.txt
