ive bought an ide western digital hard drive and the underside has an
exposed pcb.

this may be a really silly question, but should this pcb be protected from
making contact with metal, its just that the device im gonna be mounting it
in will be placed directly onto a metal bay that will contact the bottom
side of the pcb.

Hard drives have been that way for decades. Just make sure that it's
properly screwed into a bay with at *least* four screws.
