"Trusted" is not a binary distinction.

Data off a broken disk isn't as reliable as data from a functional disk. However, data off a broken disk isn't completely unreliable, and data from a functional disk isn't completely reliable.

What matters is whether the data is useful, and in my experience, that data sitting on a broken disk is frequently useful.
