Old disks collect dust - the heads in the drive need to be manually
cleaned quite often when dealing with old media (and if it's really bad
then it can be worth removing the magnetic disk from the protective
jacket, cleaning it, then reassembling).
Newer (as in 1990s or even more recent) 3.5' HD media was also often junk
- I think QC started to go to hell as floppy use died out and media
companies started cutting corners and producing a sub-standard product.
I've read thousands of disks, though - even stuff from the very early 80s
typically holds up well. 5.25' disks from Parrot and Wabash seem to be
the main exception - the binder which sticks the magnetic coating to the
plastic substrate seems to fail on those more often than on disks from
other vendors; typical behavior is a screech from the drive as the
coating parts company with the disk, sometimes followed by a crunch as
the drive heads part company with the drive :-/
