Is my HDD dying or something else from these errors and symptoms?

Your hdb is VERY old (over 6 years of actual running hours). It does
not seem to support SMART error logging, so you do not know what is
wrong with it.
I think that it is dying based on your errror messages from console.
I would make sure to run a backup ASAP, like right now.
Already did onto hda since that's the only HDD I have to back up to).
Now, how come before these errors came up my motherboard couldn't see
BOTH HDDs? Is that related or just a coincident?
You say hda and hdb, so they are on the same controller/cable. You know, one
blocking/stalled drive can block the whole ide bus?
You should consider moving the 2nd drive to the 2nd ide cable, often enough
there were incompatibilities between different harddrive brands.
