Red ball during parity check, is this truly a dead drive?

I had some problems back in October and November with red balls during parity checks, which seemed to be from my power supply not being able to keep up. I remedied that by adding a EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 80+ Gold.  Since then (up until yesterday) I've not had any issues.  Previously when I'd have a red ball, I could have SEVERAL drop out at once, or maybe just one. This time I only had one, but I'm leery on it.

 

The drive kicked out during parity check, started with some parity corrections, then failed ATA commands, then md disk read errors.
