If you have current backups, it's a yellow alert.  Otherwise...

And what do I do about it?

umount and fsck everything a lot?
swap cards/drives around until it stops?
Ignore it and pray?

Try installing the sysutils/smartmontools port and run a drive self- test. That will give you a much better assessment of the state of the drive and whether it is likely to completely fail in the next 24 hours...
