OMG, that's so old! Do you expect things to last forever?

I guess that they mean to make the back cover a bit more convex at that spot.
Can you see on the inside of the back cover where the fan rubbed it?
I'd probably just take a Dremel tool and grind away a bit at that spot.
OTOH, it could still be the fan's fault that the bearings have loosened and the position of the blades has changed.
If you can buy a fan at a reasonable price that might be a good idea, or at least preemptive maintenance.
