Yes, the partitions look fine.
>>>hda: read_intr: error 0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBA sect=79646593,
>>>sector=76546048
This sector appears to be at the end of the /dev/hda3 partition.
Is the reiserfs the same size as the partition? debugreiserfs(8) can be
used to determine the size of a reiserfs.
The above error does unfortunately appear to be the result of the hard
drive's hardware failing. It could be a glitch that goes away. The
hard drive might do a remap to avoid this bad area. It could be a
problem that comes and goes or it could be the beginning of a
catastrophic failure.

Of course, it is the kernel that is communicating the error to us. It
could be the kernel and not a media error at all. Or it could be a
strange error that fsck shouldn't fix, but some how does.
Does the system boot after doing the fsck, mount and backup?
