    Click on the top-left Apple symbol, then hit "About this Mac". "More Info". "System Report". "SATA/SATA Express". You'll then get a report on the disks installed in the machine. Assuming you only have one, look at the entry for "S.M.A.R.T Status". "Verified" is good (or at least, not bad). Anything else, not so much.

    It says 'Verified'

    For a Mac that is running at peak performance what should it say?

    Verified. Unfortunately, disks can fail and still report "Verified" from SMART.

    If you want a faster machine, whack in an SSD. Otherwise, get someone to diagnose it in more detail.
