Reading the image from the rescue drive that I DBAN'ed produced the same
results as before. Still
only showed a partial recovery. And the files it did show were unreadable.
I guess the filesystem is damaged, as Antonio suggested. Is there any way to
repair it?

The logfile says that ddrescue recovered 82161179648 bytes (82GB)
without errors. If you can't mount the image produced by ddrescue it
should be because the filesystem in the (aparently not) damaged drive is
corrupt.
If the rescue drive is larger than the damaged drive the comparison is
going to fail, and the rescue drive will contain at the end whatever
data left there by earlier uses of the drive. Wiping the rescue drive
with DBAN will make a difference on the files recovered with Get Data
Back, but won't remedy other errors the filesystem may have.

Antonio.
