I currently have an 8 year old Seagate external 4TB drive. Should I be concerned?

Any 8 years old hard drive is a concern. Don't get sucked into thinking Seagate is a bad brand because of anecdotal evidence. He might've bought a Seagate hard drive with manufacturing defect, but actual data don't really show any particular brand with worse reliability, IIRC. What you should do is research whether the particular model of your drive is known to have reliability problems or not. That's a better indicator than the brand.
