While running Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon normally, the drive went into lockdown mode preventing disk writes indicating possible corruption. Upon shutdown and reboot I was met with ACPI errors.

Following this thread, I booted from the installation disc to run a fsck check on the filesystem. I received the following error:

fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda5



The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext4

filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext4

filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock

is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

e2fsck -b 8193 / 32768 <device>

/dev/sda5 contains a crypto_LUKS file system

Following this thread, I tried using backup superblocks and received the same exact error. Now, I thought my drive was dead, but when I open file explorer I can browse through the filesystem like normal and see my files (I haven't tried opening or copying them yet). I don't know if this is normal but it doesn't seem very dead to me. Although the laptop/hdd is 13 years old with intermittent use the last 7 years, so I'm kind of asking for a failure at this point.

Following this thread in this forum and the answers by Gilles, I realized that my partition sectors are also mismatched.

sudo fdisk -l

/dev/sda2 1501182 156301311 154800130 73.8G Extended

/dev/sda5 1501184 156301311 154800128 73.8G Linux

However unlike the other user, when I run sudo tail -c +512 /dev/sda2 | file - I just get /dev/stdin: data.

How do I use GParted to modify the partition boundary? Or recreate it with fdisk, and will this delete my data? I don't have very much on there so I'll try to back it up if it's going to be wiped but it's not a big deal if I lose it.
