That message is reporting a problem in communication between the
drive and the controller (or, perhaps, between the controller and
main memory), not a problem reading the media, so the LBA is likely
not all that useful (esp. since, if you got no other messages, the
retry succeeded so no data was lost).

What does

  egrep 'ad[0-9]|ata' /var/run/dmesg.boot

report?

seek= applies to the output file, so it tried to do a seek on
/dev/null :)  You probably wanted skip= (or iseek=).
