Yes, you really should! This looks a lot like your hard drive is failing!
If I were you, I'd hurry to
a) backup all important data and
b) get myself a new hard drive and transfer everything to it.
You can verify the diagnosis with
# smartctl -A /dev/sda
If you have a nonzero number in one or more of the following fields
Reallocated_Sector_Ct
Current_Pending_Sector
Offline_Uncorrectable
then your hard drive is failing. Especially if you have something in
the latter two you should panic.
