My /dev/hdd started failing its SMART check, so I removed it from a RAID1:
# mdadm /dev/md5 -f /dev/hdd2 -r /dev/hdd2
Now when I boot it looks like this in /proc/mdstat:
md5 : active raid1 hdc8[2] hdg8[1]
58604992 blocks [3/2] [_UU]
and I get a "DegradedArray event on /dev/md5" email on every boot from
mdadm monitoring. I only need 2 disks in md5 now. How can I stop it
from being considered "degraded"? I added a 3rd disk a while ago just
because I got a new disk with plenty of space, and little /dev/hdd was
getting old.

Have a look at the "Grow Mode" section of the mdadm man page.
It looks as though you should just need to use the same command you used
to grow it to 3 drives, except specify only 2 this time.
