Does a S.M.A.R.T reading on my spin up retry count of threshold 97, value 97,
worst 96 mean that my hard drive will fail soon.
Thanks in advance

Yes. Back up your data immediately and replace the data.

Depends on the drive. Could be normal for your drive.

What does the Smart section of Everest Home say?
