Yup. I would try to stop using it if at all possible. As soon as you can dump a full disk image to some other storage. Tools like ddrescue can be useful as they will try to re-read failed sectors to get a more complete image.

Once you have the data (or at least as much is available) to a reliable medium then you can start sorting through it and discarding or saving individual bits.
