How concerned should I be with these error messages?

Should I replace this now or just keep an eye on it to replace soon?
Thanks.
* P.S. Sidenote. These new forums are not user friendly at all for me as a user. I hope they are better for the admins then the old website. I can't post until I add a label and none of the labels match what I'm asking.

Hello miogpsrocks,
This error means you need to replace the disk. Please make sure you have full back up of the data as we always strongly recommend.
