The design life of a hard drive is five years - and in mobile systems, which are subject to much more shock and handling than desktops, it can be even shorter. You may want to take the opportunity to upgrade to a solid state drive, which is more robust for notebook use (not to mention appreciably faster).

Back up immediately - the drive is on its way to the recycling bin.
