Just bought a Seagate Barracuda (Factory-Recertified) 5TB 3.5" Internal Desktop Hard Drive for $140 at microcenter. Is there anymore of a chance of this hard drive failing more then a new one?
If it's been shipped around more, especially on its own, that's more chance for it to recieve the type of physical trauma to have created a ticking time-bomb. It would not have been checked at the factory for internal damage, only that it still passed tests when plugged in and used at the time.

Someone needs to make Seagate great again. It did not deserve this fate.
