Failing boot sector?
Some other sector it has to read is failing?
Check the logs. Try (from smartmontools):
~
I don't know exactly which of your questions/suggestions running:
~
smartctl -A /dev/sda | egrep -i "sector|realloc"
~
relates to, but it didn't report any error message. Without grep I got:
~
$ sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda
smartctl 5.43 2012-05-01 r3539 [i686-linux-3.3.7] (local build)

Ok, your disk is dying. The Raw_Read_Error_Rate should be zero, or very low.
7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000f 075 060 030 Pre-fail

That is also seriously bad.

Is this a fairly new disk? Only 2678 hours use.

It looks like many errors have been recovered using ECC, so you probably
wouldn't have noticed those.
It *is* possible that smartctl is mis-interpretting the status of your
disk, but given your slow fdisk command I suspect not.
Time to backup, backup, backup, buy a new disk and transfer the data
over asap.
