I had wiped the whole hdd with secure erase and re-image windows and the crystaldiskinfo is showing that samsung 1tb hdd as caution.

Is it serious or is the hdd going to dying soon ?

See below:
 
It's showing as caution because the drive has 5 reallocated sectors as highlighted.

It's OK but may indicate the drive is beginning to fail, keep an eye and see if it develops more over time
 
I only had hitachi 1tb for a year now, health is showing 97% from 100% as it going to dying soon. My other samsung 1tb is dead after 2 years.

I give up buying large size on HDD as they don't last long. Probably SSD will be more longer years than the HDD.
