Shelf life of Internal HDD(WD blue)

I got WD blue 500GB hard disk on 05-04-2023 whose manufacturing date was 29th August 2021. Is it advisable to use it after long storage of nearly 21/2 Years.

Do you understand how a Hard Disk Drive works? I take it you bought it as brand new, and it has never been used? What do you think could make it go bad?
