Hello,
First of all, I *have* been backing up my data.
I'm going to post LOTS of details here, fell free to skim.

My problem is that once upon a time my drived failed < 6 months after I
bought my laptop. Sending it to a professional did not help, nor did
replacing the PCB, it was dead.
The symptoms leading up to the event was a sudden freeze of the OS. I was
not too bright about Linux at the time, so I thought that perhaps X froze.
Now I'm getting the identical thing, a sudden freeze. I can ping the
kernel, I cannot restore the frame buffer, sync, or umount the
file systems. My syslog metalog records no messages during this period,
it is set to sync the dmesg messages. I cannot ssh, but I can uses sysreq
to reboot. I'm using OpenRC.

This has happened twice or three times.
I just ran a self test and it says PASSED, I'm not seeing anything that
stands out.

smartmontools-6.4
Gentoo Linux 4.9.x

Below is my S.M.A.R.T. data. BTW: it is unwrapped.
What do you think?
Thanks, David
