Questions like this can be answered with an
internet search engine. Search for "Seagate SMR".
For fun you can add search terms like
"controversy guilty dreaded bad press" etc.

RAID is meant only for uptime, backup is something else, see:

Have a look at "smartctl". It will print some info about the drive and
can also "test" your drive known as S.M.A.R.T-test.
First of all i would have a look what "smartctl -a /dev/sdX" will say.

I would like to "identify" the problem specifically, so that I may
perhaps be able to get the drive replaced.
