Well, I decided to open up the fan in order to clean out whatever was inside and lubricate the sleeve bearing. Turns out that the real problem (though the fan was dirty) was that one of the power wires was on the verge of breaking (from the abuse mentioned above) and only occasionally conducting electricity. Re-soldered those connections (Also oiled it for good measure) and now the fan works as new.
...Which is good, because after searching for a few minutes online.... finding a replacement fan seemed challenging.

I don't know about replacements but you can peel back the paper and add a drop of oil. That will probably help greatly.
