Yes, it does sound like a failing hard drive. Be sure to keep your backups up to date, at least daily if not more often. You can download and run Etrecheck for more information on the hard drive.  It is a diagnostic tool that's very useful to us in finding problems. Also it will give us further specs on your Mac. After it runs post the log file here. It will contain no personal information. Allowing full drive access will improve the quality of the report.
