Bad luck, whatever happened. Obviously you should not do anything that might write to the drive. I suggest putting it in a USB caddy and cloning it to a spare drive with DD say (I prefer ddrescue - install gddrescue - as it shows progress and will re-try problem areas), Then perhaps use GParted/ Device/ Attempt data rescue, though I have never tried it. No doubt others will suggest different rescue tools.
