Drive health warning on "Read Error Rate". What can be done about it?

There's a computer where I work that is showing an error stat on Defraggler.

 

It's much slower than it should be and I didn't even let it finish CHKDSK because it seemed like forever on verifying files.

 

Can something be done about it?

I think calling someone to repair the HDD would be more expensive than actually buying another HDD.

 

 

PS. The documentation is missing information on the "health" feature.

Windows XP

Defraggler 2.09.391

 

I haven't "run" Defraggler, just after opening for the first time it already showed this information.

I could run an analysis 100% quickly.

Oh, I forgot to say that the very own BIOS is showing an error message in the startup saying the HDD is faulty...

It must be cheaper to buy a new one than to plan a technical assist visit anyway right...
