I have now tried recovering the disk from both Adams Rawhide live image and
the F11 live image. No go :-(

I thought SSDs were indestructible... Almost...

I have seen some reports about distros with problems regarding SSDs, but
they didn't see the disk at all, so I must assume the disk really is dead. I
guess my only option now is a dd conv=sync,noerror and then try to fsck the
resulting image?
Just to see if I'm lucky and the data that I don't have on a backup can be
salvaged. Not much, so I can recreate it.

When I try to read the boot partition using dd I get this:

[root at localhost ~]# dd bs=1M if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null
dd: reading `/dev/sda1': Input/output error
125+1 records in
125+1 records out
131387392 bytes (131 MB) copied, 4.29828 s, 30.6 MB/s

Similar for the root volume. I can read ~130MB from that one as well.

Snippets from dmesg related to the above command just in case someone has an
idea:

HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0
HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64
