Here is the output of: # smartctl -Ax /dev/sda https://pastebin.com/raw/GrgrQrSf I have no idea what it means.
Error 5 [0] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 1399 hours (58 days + 7 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

This is a bit strange, IDNF= id not found, at an LBA that is inside the disk capacity.
Error 3 [2] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 548 hours (22 days + 20 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

This one instead is saying WP= write protected, also a bit strange. Maybe there is something wrong with the drive electronics (unstable power) or firmware bugs. Or maybe they are just a symptom of something happening while working (cable disconnection). There is no sign instead of physical problems, since these counters are well fixed at 0:
196 Reallocated_Event_Count -O--CK 100 100 000 - 0 197 Current_Pending_Sector -O--CK 100 100 000 - 0 198 Offline_Uncorrectable ----CK 100 100 000 - 0
These above are the ones you should worry about a mechanically failing drive.
