I'm going on my third year with a Haywood pump, Model SP2605X7 (3/4

bearing going out? I wonder if it's repairable or does this just mean a new
pump.

Correction: It's a Hayward Pump.....not "Haywood".

Try cleaning the impeller and basket strainer first. If that doesn't help, I'd
take it to a pump supply house, and see if it can be repaired. These pumps are
fairly pricey. It also possible that you are using it for a purpose for which
it wasn't intended, since it is designed for inground pool use.
