In addition to what dpb said:

Fix it quick. Your pump is in the process of being destroyed. Short
cycling is extremely hard on pumps.

Adding more air to the tank will be a temporary fix that will have to
be done every few months. A new bladder tank is not a budget buster
and installation is simple if you are comforatable with plumbing and
wiring.
