I have provided a picture of the warnings.
Is there reasons to worry?

Hi Arhaan, Welcome to Seven forums.

I would suggest to scan the drive with hard drive's manufacturer's tool. BTW, which HDD are you using?
I would be very concerned about the Drive Calibration Retry Count. Backup asap and look at getting a new replacement drive.
The Current Pending Sector Count could be a serious problem but not necessarily. Your drive shows a count of 1 and that's not that uncommon. All drives have spare sectors to remap if needed.
