SMART Attributes and Hard Drive Health

I have a Samsung hard drive in an older system. I used PartedMagic to view the SMART attributes for the drive and it detailed more than 4,000 Raw Read Errors. According to the SMART attributes for the drive there are no reallocated sectors. The drive is also showing over 1,000 UDMA CRC Errors. I performed an Extensive Hard Drive test and the test completed without error. All of the research I have done has told me that the Raw Read Errors can be indicative of imminent hard disk failure. On previous drives that I have scanned that were exhibiting read errors, the extensive self tests have always failed.

Will this drive hang in there for a while or should I just stop using that system until I have some extra money to replace the drive?
