External HDD bugging my pc out, formating not possible

Title pretty much says the main stuff, found old external hdd (a 1TB toshiba) which i had since i think 2019 for extra ps4 storage and have last used 2024 for pc stuff and it wont let me format.

Now i am trying to put my old buddy to use again but when i plug it in everything goes wrong... its like the HDD tries EVERYTHING to not get formated.. diskpart, Diskmanager, file explorer.. nothing is working.

Should i just put my old buddy to rest or is there a way around it?
