The NAS accepted the reseating of the recalcitrant drive and rebuilt the RAID5.
I now have 4 drives and an NAS no longer running in degraded mode.
The bad news is that I was unaware of how long it had been running in degraded mode.
The web based app that lets you run it kinda sucks and makes it difficult to figure out what might be wrong because it gives constant "warnings" about things it would like you to do that you start ignoring because you've made a conscious decision to not do those things because the brand has a reputation for shitty security with those things enabled.
So you don't notice that you have a new warning that a drive has left the chat.
I believe that the drive "failed" because the cats keep triggering unscheduled power-offs by standing on the button for the UPS.
Eyes crossed.
If it fails again soon, we get our first upgrade in drive size. Then a slow progression of repeating that until all four 4tb drives are replaced with 6tb units.
