I'd agree entirely. If your data is precious, immediately do a backup before anything else. Not even reboot. I've experienced several unfortunate cases where the drive seems to work ok inspite of the errors, and then I thought let's see if a reboot would clear the problem... and sadly, the drive didn't survive it.
