I have 20kb of damaged files on my old hard drive. Are they worth keeping, and if so, how would I go about repairing them?

I got rid of my old iMac G5 computer which ran on Tiger, but not before I retained the hard drive, which was installed into a 'caddy'.

There is a folder containing 20kb of damaged files. I wondered whether they were worth keeping, and if so, how do I go about repairing them?User uploaded file
