SMART are diagnostics and monitoring software built into most modern discs. There are tools to view what it has discovered about the disc. However, from what you are saying, I would say that the disc is fubar and does need to be replaced. Some of the more important information SMART can monitor about the disc:
- Read Error Rate
- Reallocated Sector Count (a critical metric)
- Seek Error Rate
- Temperature
- Uncorrectable Sector Count

SMART stands for Self Monitoring And Reporting Technology. If SMART says your drive has had it then the only fix there is is to get a new one.
