OUCH! That's a lot of bad clusters.  I think the HDD is likely on its
way out.  Might be a good idea to wait a little before looking for more
DIMMS, as this one may be needing a HDD soon.

One way you could do some more checking on it would be to run Scandisk a
few more times.  If more bad clusters keep showing up, that is a bad
sign.
