I think it's normal to see high numbers of errors. I have more Seek errors
and fewer Recovered than you on a disk with 75000 hours.

Check to make sure the Reallocated Sector count is zero. If it's not, you
should probably start moving data off the disk.

Not sure what else would cause the input/output error you got. Bad cable
maybe?
