I haven't looked at these very close yet, but aren't the heads in the
drive, not the disk pack?
The only damage I can imagine is the bearings and/or races got munged
up...

RL02K-DC and some RL02K-EF.
What's the difference between them?
The -EF were error free.
One had one side of the shock indicator set, a second had both set.
Would it be a really bad idea to use either of these, or just a bad
idea?
Depends of how brave you are.:)
Clean the heads first anyway.
Inspect them closely for any dings. Especially on the edges of the
platters. Then be ready to spin the drive down if you hear anything when it
first loads.
Then inspect the heads again for oxide whether you heard anything or not.
