So I assume you are still able to access your computer. Don't turn it off because it may not boot again.

It appears that your hard drive is in the process of dying.

My suggestion is to get as much of your information off of the computer that you can via backup drive and look into a replacement disk.

SMART Status is always pretty accurate so your drive is failing F-A-S-T. Trust you have an external drive and backup with a cloner such as SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner, and as mac747 suggested, do it and do it quickly or you will lose everything.

Keep us posted?
