These entries,

and this, indicate that sdc is losing sectors, so you probably want a 
backup of the array.

Depending on how important the array is you could fail and remove sdc 
from the array, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1M and re-add it back.

It may then be fine for some time, but if it continues to gather pending 
sectors in the short term, it is probably dying.

Otherwise just replace it with a new one.
