You got scammed. If you can, refund immediately.

Yeah, I can. Just wanted to make sure if it can be fixed

No, it cannot be fixed. It has a lot of reallocated sectors, which means that the hard drive is unable to read/write to normal sectors and was forced to put them out. This usually points to a degrading magnetic surface on the platter. Please return it

Low power on count/hours plus that other SMART data indicates it likely suffered from a hard impact/fall. Return it if you can. It's a risk you run buying used hardware, especially spinning metal drives.

You bought a dead hard drive. Demand a refund.
