I just ran a scan with HDD Regenerator, and it’s flagging a ton of delay errors—though there aren't any actual bad sectors yet. Can these delay errors actually be fixed, or is this drive basically a paperweight at this point?

I haven't spent much time messing around with HDD Regenerator myself. Why don't you grab CrystalDiskInfo instead? If you want, just drop a screenshot here—we can take a look together and see what's going on with the drive. Honestly, it isn't rocket science; there are really just three main scenarios:

A blue status means everything is looking good—your drive is healthy and running smoothly.
Yellow means things are starting to get a little dicey—it'll actually tell you exactly what the issues are.
Red means your drive is basically on its last legs. If you see that, please—for the love of everything—back up all your important files immediately and start browsing for a replacement.

If you’ve got more than a few bad sectors popping up on your hard drive, you’re probably looking at an inevitable replacement soon. It becomes a real headache when you notice the system freezing up or lagging during your daily routine while the drive struggles just to read basic data. If there’s anything important sitting on there, I’d suggest backing it up immediately, just to be safe, before the whole thing decides to quit on you for good.

Hard Drive Sentinel reports health at 23%—performance is still at 100%.
HD Regenerator claims there are a ton of bad sectors.

Here’s the screenshot.
