a) Your spectro is bad, and needs replacement.

But sometimes cleaning the calibration tile does solve this without replacement...

b) You will never be able to build a good profile from the
measurements. (So I don't understand "the prints are good" part of this)

If only the whites are measuring incorrectly, then prints woudl be fine (as whites aren't printed, they are left blank), but softproof would be off (as whites are colored in the softproof, so would be off). If mismeasurements moved up into the light tints, then results would tend to be off in the prints as well.
