hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5790465, sector=5593904

This is a disk read error that the drive cannot correct. It's failing, back up whatever of your data you can before more of the drive fails.

I was running

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda

on several servers and got this error?

hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }

The problem may have occured when power went out and
servers got interupted.

I don't think drive is failing is a sufficient answer, since it is
reported if server is shutdown suddenly this error occurs.

This error happened across 7 servers simultaneously.

I tried fdisk /dev/hda and mfs -t ext2 /dev/hda, but no luck in
correcting issue.

Does someone have a suggestion I could try to clear this error?

I have searched Google and there does not seem to be a fix.
