I don't mean to be flippant about something that is important to you, but I think is trying to tell you it has malfunctioned. All microSD cards are just small black plastic 'blobs' with a few metallic connectors. They give no external sign of their internal functioning.

If it is not working correctly and is noticeably overheating it has probably reached the end of its useful life and should be discarded.
