Yes, cheaper, but useless. If the fan is making noise the bearing is
gone. Adding oil will work for a day, maybe two, then the noise will be
back.

There is no choice, once a PS fan starts making noise the fan needs to
be replaced. Whether that means replacing the fan or the whole supply is
up to you.

Letting the supply run in that condition will only result in the fan
eventually failing, usually resulting in the PSU self destructing, which
usually ends up killing some components in your computer as well. TTYL
