SuperDrive going out?

Try an Apple Hardware test.

Insert the grey Mac OS X disc into the computer, reboot, hit C. From there you should be able to run the Intel hardware test.

Are we talking about commercially pressed CDs, or recorded CDs?

A lot of people aren't aware that recordable optical media actually degrades over time. Some brands are worse than others.
