It's A Digital Disease!

I have this old Toshiba 1TB hdd that I had salvaged from a laptop a few years back. It travels with me a lot and I often share it with others, which means it has been through quite some unintentional abuse. But recently it stated acting up. it would keep freezing on windows. I managed to recover the important data using Linux where it froze once in a while but worked significantly better and after the recovery i formatted the HDD in hopes of fixing it. But It was of no use since now it just freezes after a few seconds of me trying to transfer a large file to it. I ran HDDscan and it is filled with bad blocks. Is there any way to fix it? or is it dead?
