AFAIK HDDs are super resilient as long as you store them properly, I have HDDs from the 90's and they're still working, of course the technology advances and they have very slow speed and storage but they work. They're basically a disc inside a metal shell that contains them so if they don't suffer damage or get overused they should be fine.
I'm sure this is most likely for archival purposes and not for general use.
