It seems you also have bad sectors. Were you able to copy all what you need ? If yes, consider buying a new disk, this one is probably ot far from the end.

If no, you should also buy another disk (same size or bigger) do duplicate the first (bit to bit copy) and then work on the copy.

yes, you can : buy a new disk, make bit to bit copy, and recover from the copy... Or ask for professionnal help.
