Default changing an attic roof vent fan

My thermostatic attic roof vent fan made these horrible screeching noises and died.

I can turn the blades but it takes a lot of force where it should spin easily. I cut the power to it until I can get to fixing it.

This is one job I've never done before. It looks pretty easy to get out; am I going to be able to find an exact replacement? House was built in the 60s.
