...
This says that during a disk access starting at sector 16210564
an error occurred at sector 16210739. Next, that during a disk access
starting at sector 16210568 an error occurred at sector 16210739.
Next ...
In other words, sector 16210739 is bad.
Now this is close to the end of the disk (you have 16514064 sectors
with a 16383/16/63 partitioning, or 16498755 with your current
partitioning) so you can repartition and end the partition before
this sector.
But if a disk develops bad sectors it is dying.
Probably better to get a new one.
