"I learned subsequently, that many newer computer hard disks come with
a specific life span, like 5 years, and once they reach their date,
they crash. Do you know if you have such a disk?"

They don't have a self destruct mechanism. This isn't Inspector Gadget. Sure, they might have a estimated life span. Some only make it one year and some make it nine. Maybe you are thinking of warranty? And, the hard drive in my Beige G3 is 7 years. It runs OS 9 so it gets restarted multiple times during the day. :-)
