First Aid from Disk Utility

I just ran First Aid from Disk Utility. At the end it said "operation Successful" However just before that is had some lines which I thought were unresolved. Is this ok?

Several lines first of about checking different things, then this...

Keys out of order

Missing thread record (id=75075057)

The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.

File system check exit code is 8.

Operation successful.

That does not sound successful to me. Is this ok? Do I need to do something.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), 24" Early 2009

Want to update this. As a beginner with this tech stuff, I had assumed doing First Aid was only when computer was running. I since read that you run it as you reboot with "command + R" as boots up. Chose my hard drive, then ran Disk Recovery and First Aid to repair, it ran and repaired the hard drive. Then chose restart from that screen, Now is doing well!

Correct you can not repair a volumn you are booted from. Therefore from the Recovery partition you can run first aid your Macintosh HD volume.

When ever you run First Aid and it does make repairs (successful,) run it again until it reports no errors found.
