Having all pins present, I wouldn’t be surprised if the drive still gets detected while bending a SATA cable back juuuuuust right so its connector makes contact with the pins.

Considering this is the data portion of the SATA connector I'd be worried about data integrity all the time 😬

I've used computers for years like that, also these card edge connectors are pretty standard and can be easily replaced by anyone who can do basic soldering.
