Relevant text is here:
You have two failing disks, not one.
(1) usually pending sector counts are worse than ATA errors.
(2) If disk 2 is the disk removed from the array, it is possible that resync will fail when because of the pending sector errors on drive 1.
Make a backup of your data without delay - it is very possible that you will lose your data volume when you try to replace your disks.

Disk 2: Previous count: 0 Current count: 6 Growing SMART errors indicate a disk that may fail soon. If the errors continue to increase, you should be prepared to replace the disk.
