If you don't have a backup of your important data then make that your top priority.
I would not even use the pc until you are ready to backup, hopefully you can get one more use out of the drive.
I don't bother running the built in diagnostics*, I just replace the drive and since I always backup the whole pc, I just restore the last backup and I'm good to go in 20 minutes or so.

*Usually by the time you get that message the drive is in a state that I would not use again anyways.
