IMHO the very first thing you should do on a disk which gives SMART errors or other random read errors is use ddrescue to back the entire thing up to another hard drive as an image file. Once you have a backup, you can start dicking around with the original disk to see if its a transient issue (caused by bad powerdown or something) or a head crash etc.
