Would you feel safe selling an old laptop or would you be paranoid about someone recovering data? It's had a full wipe with Dban so seems pretty safe, and probably a lot of effort to require some not particularly interesting personal info.

You can't get the data back after Dban so just let it go.

Do a tripple pass wipe with zeros and one's if concerned. Ccleaner has a built-in drive wiper but there are lots of similar apps.

Unless you keep a folder that says “all my online banking log-ins” is there much risk?

If it's been DBANed then the chances of getting data off it is nil for all practical purposes. I can't really see your average Joe spending a grand on forensic recovery to get your Facebook password.
