I am a beginner with Ubuntu and I don't know how I can fix my hard drive or if it can be repaired.

No way. SMART is a hardware test. And Reallocated Sectors is one of the important. If the value is actually increasing, find a replacement disk now and leave this one for nonimportant data. However, I have an HDD which has this parameter bad for years already, but the number of bad sectors is not increaing.
