HD SMART error

As of yesterday, every time I reboot my Dell, I get an interesting warning before Windows loads that goes something like this:
A S.M.A.R.T error occurred.
Your hard drive is operating outside normal specifications.
It is advisable to backup your data immediately and contact your technical administrator or Dell Support Service.
Press Del to continue.

That's not word to word but pretty close. Anyone familiar with this "SMART error"? I had a few lockdowns lately due and had to force coldboot the machine, after which I started getting the message above.

Is this the untimely end of my hard drive?
