Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Frigidaire PRFS2883A*: Frigidaire GRFS287DA* ($136/yr, 725 kWh/yr), then GE GFE28GEL**** ($136/yr, 725 kWh/yr).
Within the Frigidaire lineup

What this adds up to over time
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the Frigidaire PRFS2883A* that long and it costs about $1,772 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The Frigidaire PRFS2883A* runs above its category average. If the refrigerator you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $136/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A refrigerator like the Frigidaire PRFS2883A* is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
