I think that disk has sectors with read errors, and the disk is trying to
reallocate them. That is relatively normal, but it says that it failed, and
that is indeed worrying. It could be that the space reserved for
reallocation is spent. It would be interesting to read the smart log of
that disk, but I think that sata support is not included/finished in
smartctl.
