It,s feet aren't sticking straight up yet, but soon will be.
I would only run the system/drive long enough to get your data off the drive.
I'd agree entirely. If your data is precious, immediately do a backup
before anything else. Not even reboot. I've experienced several
unfortunate cases where the drive seems to work ok inspite of the errors,
and then I thought let's see if a reboot would clear the problem... and
sadly, the drive didn't survive it.
