Here is some information on the $USNjrnl

But I concur that imminent drive failure is the most likely cause of
your observed behavior there. After you have made a complete backup
you should run diagnostics as suggested by Dan. Possibly any SMART
reporting utility would also show problems with the drive.

Other causes are less likely in my opinion that disk drive problems.
