I have been getting this message, along with a "offline uncorrectable
sectors" message from smart on one of my machines for a few years now
(and I'm not exaggerating).  Its never had any other problems, and I've
learned to live with it and stop worrying.

Of course it isn't a mission critical machine and it is backed up
regularly :-)
