Your dmesg shows this:

"error 5" is EIO, a physical I/O error.  That almost certainly means that 
there was an unrecoverable bad block on the disk, in the area for the root 
partition.  Get a new drive, copy the data over and toss this one.

Well, the dump *also* hit a bad block:

...so the suggestion is really strong to save your data while you can and 
replace the drive.

fsck doesn't read (or read+write) every block, it over checks the 
structural data...but I would suggest you not poke at the drive until you 
have any and all data you want off of it.
