Many times I get the error notification message like Issue in SD Card, SD card is damaged Tap to fix. Sometimes when I reinsert the card, it works. But once didn't work at all. Tapping on it shows formatting options. But when I format it stucks at 20% and in my Redmi note 9 pro, the device keeps rebooting when I try to format the card. Tried on old Lenovo K5 note, here also stuck at 20 percentage & later shows timeout error message. After some time it shows card is ready. I have encountered the same problem many times. Why this problem happens?

SD card has reached its end, certainly as they do not live long. Try to format using official SD formatter on PC and if that fails, time to buy new one.

Do brands matter in micro sd card? For support upto 1080p videos, which class is recommended?

Yes, SanDisk, Kingston, samsung are better than some brands like Axl or unbranded ones. Because there is a difference in way of manufacturing. Also, these brands have better after sales and less error probability. Now, for HD videos, clas 10 is recommended, but it is quite common now.

Get the best class you can afford, apart from speeds, better class usually has longevity.
Go for UHS1 and above.. Its the new standard

For 1080p stuff, don't get anything below class 10. And yeah, brands do matter in the long run for the quality of the product.
