As others have said, keep using it.
But I what I haven't seen mentioned yet is that you could buy your replacement now. I had an SSD die suddenly (no SMART error) and the most annoying thing was the server being down until a new hard drive could arrive.
Not a huge deal, but if the SSD goes on to last for X more years, buying an SSD today to save a bit of time will seem pretty poorly thought-out in retrospect
Make use of it then! Or even better, ZFS mirror or RAID 1 so that if one dies the other holds a perfect copy and can continue running unaffected.
