"will still work" ... for now. Don't keep using this disk. Chances are that something really bad has happened to it (e.g. the head has scraped the platter) and you're at risk that either (a) the head has sustained damage which may eventually cause problems, or (b) there are little flakes of disk surface floating around waiting to randomly destroy more of the disk.
