Well, the drive will probably continue to work fine for quite a while, but you might lose some data.

 

Depending on how important that data is I'd either back it up regularly or get a new drive.

back up the data regularly. If it's still under warranty, replace it.

Back it up, replace it.

Probably gaming or helping technophobes with tech...

You can grab our free diagnostic software SeaTools & run a Long Generic or Fix All test, these take longer but they are thorough. Fix All can sometimes repair bad sectors if present.
