The questions are: how much, where, how long exposure to liquid span and how You dried, and how You cleaned...

But I'm doubt it is the reason of apps "freezing" (until You did something very stupid, causing electric shocks on circuit). HDD are quite tight closed, especially new lines with helium. It can be coincidence or You kill it mechanically (HDDs are sensitive to quakes).

Check S.M.A.R.T...

You learned your lesson. No drinks near exposed hard drives!

To have any chance you should have left it in a bag of rice overnight or something like that, BEFORE plugging it in.

The hdd metal "body" is sealed, so is near imposible to enter any liquid inside
It has 2 "holes" covered with an sticker though

Do what devil303 suggested, a night (or more) in a box with rice
And the circuits board of the hdd you can separate it and clean it up in a bath of alcohol + toothbrush

After day or more it is not necessary. IMO he have dirty circuit board, but running it on the console in such state probably already made damages (let's hope not).
