Hard drives do not like being dropped, especially when it was in operation. This hard drive is faulty and it is not repairable. There are data recovery companies that specializes in recovering data from faulty hard drives BUT it will cost you an arm and a leg for their services. I suggest you Google search for these companies and get a quote before you proceed.
Hard drives are not robust devices and dropping them on a hard surface is a sure way of destroying them.
It is cheaper to buy a new hard drive, I doubt you can find anyone to willing to repair these hard drives because they are constructed in a cleanroom enviroment.
You can open the case, and access the harddrive inside it. I found there are videos explaining the process on youtube. You can also find some info on Google. You'd then need either a USB SATA adapter, or a desktop computer with a SATA port that's not already occupied. Search for:
