That's a bad sign. First off stop using it so that you don't make it worse. Next take a backup. I think dd automatically skips over bad blocks but I don't remember. Also, I would not go straight to another drive but instead go to a file.
I don't mean to freak you out but there is a chance you are going to lose data.
I already have all data I care about backed up, so even if I lose some, it's not a big deal
