I am running Pop!_OS on my 128GB SSD and want to install Windows 10 on my 3TB HDD for gaming. The thing is that the HDD is for some reason really slow.
I checked on Linux and it says that there are 31872 bad sectors.
How can I fix these bad sectors or speed up my PC?
My PC is an iMac but I am just using Linux at the moment. Here are some details:

I also ran sudo fsck /dev/sdb
from some research but I keep getting this or something similar:
ozone@ozone:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sdb
fsck from util-linux 2.34
e2fsck 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>

Is there any way I can fix my HDD or make it better?
sudo fsck /dev/sdb2
