The disk has or used to have bad sectors/clusters.

Could you please tell me if there is anything still wrong with my disk?

I've attached CrystalDiskInfo and chkdsk data:




Thanks.
 
Solution
CHKDSK found one bad cluster and added it to the $BadClus NTFS metafile. This means that Windows will avoid it from now on.

CrystalDiskInfo is showing 1 Pending/Uncorrectable sector. This sector will now remain in the "pending reallocation" state until the next format (because it is now shielded from writing by the OS by $BadClus).

I would keep an eye on SMART, and refrain from entrusting this drive with your important data. Note that the raw values of the Read/Write Error Rates are non-zero, so the drive is starting to become unreliable.

Anyway, 62456 hours is a good run.
