Have you attempted to use this hard disk under another OS recently?
Does the disk work? Try initializing it under OS X, and putting some

Any functional hard drive will work. If anyone anywhere has ever
experienced other wise, they may at their leisure correct me. In 25
years of working with computers I've never heard of such a thing.

Good Luck! ]:) (and don't forget to have fun!!)
<off topic> I suppose I have seen some problems with individual disks
and the new SATA stuff, but those are generally
firmware/controller/protocol disagreements between the SATA controller
and the disk electronics -- not something that is going to be an issue
here from the sound of it. And perhaps MFM RLL stuff long
ago... </off topic>
