SMART Status:Failing : MacBookPro9,2 (2012)

Hi, I've been aware of the last few months that my MBP has been running slower and that during the installation of Catalina it wouldn't complete due to a problem with the hard drive. I've passed it off as I've not needed the MBP for some time but am now looking into resolving the problem.

It's a 2012 machine so am equally aware there may be limited actions for me but would be grateful for any advice or guidance you could provide. I've not needed to delve into the technical elements of owning an Apple product but exploring a few things found this report that indicates a 'failing' hard drive. I presume this 'failing' would explain the problems I've experienced, but I've no idea if this is repairable, and if so, where to start in getting this fixed.

Thanks in advance for any guidance

Tim
