Should I still use a HDD with 8 reallocated sectors? (zerobytes.monster)

I have an 8TB Seagate NAS (ST8000VN0002) that I used in a not-important NAS to store not-important archival data. I remember it didn't have any reallocated sectors 4 years ago or so but I didn't monitor it until last week I saw that it had 8 reallocated sectors. The data on it (6TB worth) was moved out with no issue.

I want to reduce e-waste so I'm tempted to reuse it if possible. Is it wise? At what point do you recycle / throw away HDD?
