I have a 41 GB hardisk that could fail. It works fine.

Odd stats: 2.2 GB Swap
21 GB File system EXT4 (Actually using 39 GB)
180 GB File system EXT4
18446743911 GB Free space (unallocated)

Please phrase your question in the form of a question.

If you have a SMART failure
clone the disk at once or back up your data

the drive will *definitely* fail

Could be in an hour

could be a few months but it's going to go for sure

I really don't care if it fails. It is only a second installation of the
same OS I have on the primary.
It's where (Primary slave) I used to install new versions of Opensuse to
test them before really installing them on the master.

yes

I have a bunch of old drives I use to perform "test" installs

but ones with SMART errors I just pitch in the recycle bin
