Possibly, but make sure you have backups of the data on some other
device first. There's a good chance that you'll end up screwing up the
filesystem even more by running fsck.
It's also quite likely that the device needs replacement. You could
also try running badblocks on the device:
# umount /dev/sdc1
# badblocks -w /dev/sdc
WARNING! This will destroy all of the data on the disk, but it will
tell you how many bad blocks you have on the disk. If it's non-zero,
you should ditch the device, as it's accumulated enough physically
damaged blocks that it can't replace them all. From this point
onwards, damaged blocks *will* cause data loss, so it's really not
worth your while using the device.
