Since not so long ago, Ićve been getting this “Smart Failure predicted on HDD drive” message. Luckily it’s not the dumb failure lol. Now, seriously, what does this mean? I haven’t noticed any strange behavior of my computer. Playing games, surfing the net and everything else works perfectly. Should I worry about this message anyway?

SMART failure indicates that some of the nominal values of hdd are wrong. This could mean that something’s wrong, but not necessarily. My advice for you is to download special hdd diagnostic software from your manufacturer’s official website. Google for it if you don’t know the address. Then search for diagnostic software, download it and run it. Then you’ll know if everything is ok with your hdd.
