How long will a HDD with archived files last if it is not used for day to day backups and is turned on at least once a year? (zerobytes.monster)

I read that backup hard drives should he replaced every 3 to 5 years, but I wonder if this still holds true for hard drives that are just used for archibed storage and not day to day backups. Does anyone have any insights into this?
