You've opened it up so you may as well bin it anyway after doing that.

It was dying...almost dead.
By opening it up, you simply turned off the life support and dug the grave.

It's dead.

Anything less than 99% is suspect.
Weird and new noises are suspect.
Opening it up is generally death.

It was already dying and unfixable.

There might be one last chance -- check with Dr_Luke first about this:
A DR company/specialist might be able to "move" your platters from the source HD into a target twin HD. I'm only guessing, check with Dr_Luke before sending HD to a place.

Only if that data is absolutely irreplaceable and vital.
Either way, that will cost $$.

This is why people (like me) harp on backups.
A dead drive should never be more than..."aw crap, I have to get a new drive"
You data should never be affected.
