Get a new HDD quick.

The SMART detection error is the calm before the storm, meaning failure is coming.

If this drive is in a RAID array you maybe able to simply swap it out (depending on RAID level employed). If it's a single disk (JBOD) I'd suggest imaging the drive, replacing it and applying the image to the new drive.
