I am interested in exploring the kind and severeness of the damage.
How old is the reader drive ? Do you have a second one in reach for
GNU/Linux ?

To my experience, degradation of once verified media is rare, even long
after they have been written. More probable is drive degradation.
(With re-usable media stored for a long time, there is an increased
probability that they fail to take new data. But that's a different
problem.)
Have a nice day :)
