Failing hard drive?? Bad/reallocated sectors. Is there any saving files at all?

My GF's drive has been acting finicky over the past couple of days - from restarts to crashes to corrupt images and files. And while thankfully nothing super important has been lost, it sucks that a fair number of images are cut in half or look like this:

So what's going on? IS it failing? I'd like to back everything up ASAP but am worried a lot of it wont transfer or will get further lost in the process. Is there are reversing of the damage at all?
