If this system is a desktop, an easy thing to do is to replace the cable. On a laptop, that is generally not possible. In any case, I would be sure to have backups and a spare drive.
I agree with Larry in that my first diagnostic step when I see errors being reported is to replace the sata cable. It that fixes the problem, just toss the old cable. If it doesn't is when I start diving into the "smartctl -a" data.
