error 0x04 is said to be mostly harmless (found on the LKML). You error seems
to be a bit worse. You'll get several replies saying "go shopping" shortly.
First step: backup your data. Do this no matter what happens, it's always a
good thing.
Afterwards, you might want to get some drive diagnostics tools. Most vendors
offer such tools under different names and a bit of googling might get you
there. There also are the smartmontools for Linux (debian package with the
same name available via apt), but those require a bit of attention since they
don't know all drives data formats and might display bogus values (e.g.
several 100k disk errors displayed when only some 100s were there). Using
such a tool, run a complete self-test.
