To me that sounds like the cd (data) might be corrupted/damaged

make sure its not scratched. There are buffer kits u can buy to buff away the scratches. Also poor mans solution, toothpaste + cloth + rub in circular motion.

Unfortunately, the CD extremely damaged, with weird brown/red spots on it that I didn't see when I put it in.

supposedly the slippery side of a banana peel can actually be used to buff out numerous small scratches

Get a freeware version of Nero cd-burning software and try to make an image of the cd.
Worked for me when my second first disk of battlefield 1942 broke when putting it back in de box...

I'm not quite sure but sounds like the cd is rusting, if that is actually possible it might be good idea to consider some other form of container for likely all your cd's.

Only iron rusts, the metal layer in CDs is aluminium. This layer might start to corrode if the lacquer that protects it was improperly formed, but if that's the case you'd have a noticeable deformation on the disc's outer layer (and aluminium oxide is white, not brown/red).

If the label side is damaged and it affects the reflective layer then you can't really do anything about that.

If there are any cracks on your disc, take care (and heed) when using it in disc drives- the disc will spin extremely fast, and as a result your disc could explode. As you may have guessed, this is the point of no return for both your disc and your drive.
