Unforunately the usbmon trace isn't much help.  It shows several 
unrecovered read errors, but you already know that the disk has a bunch 
of bad sectors.

Then near the end, for no apparent reason, it shows a failure right in 
the middle of a READ command.  The computer tried to read 128 sectors;
the drive sent back 48 sectors of data and then stopped responding.  
Something in the firmware crashed; my guess is that the bridge chip 
failed.
