[Question] Should I switch to a Raspberry Pi or just buy a new HDD?

Hi, I'm running the Nextcloud snap on my dad's 12 year old laptop (hp elitebook 8470w) but it has some performance issues. It fails to load for half a minute pretty often.

I'm considering buying a rPi 5 instead to run a few things:

• umami.is or similar simple web analytics
• Nextcloud with memories.gallery to store all my family photos
• maybe HUGO to build websites
• possibly listmonk to send emails later

Another positive could be the lower power draw, but I'm not sure one pi5 is strong enough to run these.

What I'd need help with is the SMART results of the laptops HDD:

Getting these kinds of errors:

And I couldn't make sense of the smartmontools long test results for the HDD:
