What are the chances of a 9 year old hard drive failing? And would there likely be warning signs? (zerobytes.monster)

I got a Seagate 2tb hard drive in 2016 and used it in my PS4 for the past 9 years. I didn’t use my PS4 very much. But I just sold my PlayStation, and now just using the hard drive to store movies. Seems to be working great, but would suck if it fails without warning. Should I get a new hard drive or do they last longer than you’d expect if not used frequently?
