[nSLUG] Hard drive or power supply?

Another hardware question, be it having to do with a hard drive!
Last week I was browsing on my PC, I opened a page, and my browser locked
up, I had a heck of a time to kill iceweasel, to restart it, as it turned
zombie. I ended up logging out and logging back in.
A day later I was still having troubles, so I threw into console mode, and
I found (as I have a mining script running there) a bunch of DRDY statuses!
Rebooted my PC, 0.5TB HDD wouldn't come up from the dead. A few reboots
later, a shutdown, replaced the SATA cable and tried a different power
connector off the PSU, I was back in business, no more freezes or DRDY
statuses. I suspected it was a bad connector on my power supply.
That was a week ago. Today, fed up with iceweasel complaining that adobe
was out of date I did an aptitude update && aptitude upgrade. Halfway
through the second portion I got another freeze. My full transcript of the
errors are below.
I don't like the smartctl stats, but could the pre-fail values be due to
the fact that the PSU was messing up for a day and a half (at least) before
anything was done about it? Which part is to blame at this point, or would
it be both the PSU and HDD?
Running backups more often in the meantime.
