Sadly, not from that limited information.

But, being a laptop, maybe it's had one too many bumps.

 

If you think it is failing;

1. do a backup
2. do a chkdsk /f to find any disk errors
3. ran sfc /scannow to see if the system has any corrupted files
4. do a backup (yeah I know, but it's important)

After following mta's suggestions, there are 2 disk utility programs I use that may help you interpret the SMART data:
