Hi
prolly a nuked bearing. You will not be able to fix this. A lower
speed will decrease the problem and decrease the wear on the drive,
but the drive will degrade fast.

A laptop drive seems to be expensive, maybe an external disk is
cheaper (and you'll have an enclosure to connect a 3.5 inch disk for
rescue or backup)

Hope you'll be able to fix this
