Google recorded the results of their hard drive storage (they have something crazy like 100,000 HDDs in use) and made them public. I remember the results saying that Smart errors are good and bad: bad because a bad hard drive doesn't always display a Smart error, but good because those that DO display a Smart error are royally fucked. I'd get it replaced.
