Yes.
What should I do?
Buy a new hard drive, hopefully you'll receive it and be able to copy all of
your data from this one, before your current hard drive turns into a brick.

Yea, it took a while for my drive to get more than 1 uncorrectable
sector, but once I got one, it eventually got worse.

Hi all,
I would like to add that there's a convenient utility shipped with Fedora
(at least with the GNOME version) called 'Disks' that helps you tweak some
of your disk options as well as check its health state by showing the SMART
information.
Cheers.

Thanks to all for your replies.

Sounds like you already have smartmontools installed. Use smartctl to look at your disks
SMART data and also run the built in diagnostics.
ddrescue is a good tool to recover your data. Look at the example section in the manual.
info ddrescue. The first pass will read the whole disk with a large block size, skipping
all read errors to save as much as possible as quickly as possible. The second run then
reads only the failed sectors from the first run with smaller block sizes and retries
multiple times. Then fsck the fresh copy and hope you got everything.
I just did this successfully on a windows drive. Only one 512b block failed completely.

This will help you figure out what data is in the bad sector, and
whether it's important or replaceable from a backup.
Note that this is an AF drive, specifically 512e variety. 512 bytes
logical sector, 4096 bytes physical sector. To erase, you have to do a
4KiB write. If you do a 512 byte write, or 8 512 byte writes, the
drive will likely do read,modify,write which will fail at read and
you'll get a read error from the drive even though you're writing.
This is of course confusing. So if you use dd to do the overwrite,
bs=4096 and then you have to adjust the seek= value since it too will
be based on 4096 bytes; whereas LBA for a 512e drive is based on 512
byte sectors. So yeah, make sure you get it right or you'll zero some
other sector. Make sure count=1 to avoid a mess...
hdparm has a way to do this also but I haven't used it, so I'm not
sure how the whole 512 vs 4096 thing gets sorted out.
