Help syslog mmcblk1 ERROR - is it time to get a new SD Card?

I checked syslog to diagnose an unrelated problem, and found some messages that I find disturbing. I'm afraid that maybe my SD Card is going bad?

I saw this message in syslog:

01/04/2013 21:23:37 [ERROR] mmcblk1: error -110 transferring data, sector 254256, nr 8, card status 0x20090

In the syslog I exported, it appears 63 times over a 40 minute period.

Does this mean it's time to back up the card & replace it?

Here's the error in a little context:

Here's a longer snippet. (If anyone wants to take a shot at explaining the "platform_pm_suspend returns -16" error I wouldn't mind that either!)

I would definitely backup the card and perhaps try another card to see if you have the same problem.
