The total time (as stated) is not really important.
Time since overhaul /last shop visit possibly relevant.
As for reported surging on a previous flight, a red herring me thinks, and not relevant to this incident.
Flight 1549 encountered a flock of large birds which caused enough damage to the engines to cause them to lose power /stop completely.
A not uncommon outcome for one engine although rare for both to encounter bird strikes.....
