Gig ethernet uses 10 bit encoding instead of 8 bit. These 10 bit codes are referred to as symbols. Symbol errors can occur due to dirty fibre, noisy lines or, rarer, a hardware problem.
Unless they are increasing fairly quickly or regularly they are not a cause for concern.
Clear the counters, check your connections and monitor the situation.
Hope this helps.
