This doesn´t look like the usual hardware error from a broken hard disk:
When a disk is broken, you usually get messages about sector errors.
I would check all the connections (power and SATA) and try new
cables. If the problem doesn´t go away, it can be anything, like the
firmware of the drive, a problem with your mainboard, a problem with
your power supply: Backup the data, replace the drive and see if the new
one also shows errors like the above.
