you have an error message, or a problem with the hard drive (or SSD)
this indicates that your hard drive is certainly damaged
Depending on the error, and its condition, it may fail anytime.
maybe it doesn't work anymore
First of all, you can try to recover personal data

You can either follow the following or buy a new hard drive directly!

According to your manual your laptop: Supports 6.35-cm (2.5-in) SATA hard drives in 9.5 mm (.37 in) and 7.0 mm (.28 in) thicknesses 7/9.5 mm share the same bracket. So you can replace with etiher a 7 or 9.5 HDD or any 2.5 inch SSD.
