I had the drift happen with my previous mouse, never really knew why. A mousepad might fix it, I think it was reading stuff that wasn't there on my wooden table (like the depth of the grain).
As for the click it's probably the mechanism breaking down. I usually get the dreaded double click (a click registers as two) or the unregistered click when I start having problems with my mice.
I switched to a Zowie EC-2 mouse and I'm super happy with it. The cable feels almost non-existent and it's recommended specifically for its durability due to having Haino switches (IIRC) that are just much more durable than the switches typically used. A bit pricy but I can likely keep it for 10 years. Only had it for 6 months though.
