I have a laptop (Toshiba) in which one of the USB ports seems to be dead.
Do USB ports can go independently bad or could it be a Windows 7 issue like
a driver or such? I don't see any exclamation marks in the device manager.

Yes they can independantly fail.

Each pair is a physically different port.

Yes: one of the two on my Toshiba laptop failed years ago.
A multiple USB "hub" (single USB connector to computer,
4 USB jacks) cost less than $10.
