It is exactly that. It has been running mostly uninterrupted in my
basement. Max temp from the past 12 months (as far as I can tell by
looking at aggregated data in munin) is 36°C. That should be fairly
ideal.

That is exactly what was confusing me here.

Helpful advice, thanks. Unfortunately, I cannot hotplug into this
system. Thinking of this, the errors came shortly after a (long overdue)
reboot, so it will have to survive at least another shutdown to provide
some redundancy.

Just for completeness, the long self-check did not report any issues and
the SMART values also stayed the same. Nothing to see here, move along.

The new disk is already sitting on my desk.
