I have never found a way to get smart to report what specific sectors is pending.
You can do a smartctl -l long against the device and generally it will stop when it hits that sector.
Also usually the errors are found by linux doing a read against it, so there should be error messages on the reads in the messages file when it happened, that is usually what I use to determine what sectors are getting the error.

So, SMART reports it has N pending sectors. This must mean it knows exactly which sectors those are, but nothing in the SMART interface is willing to tell you what sectors it is talking about?
You could maybe correlate them with the filesystem structures and find out what files they might be affecting (or if they are just in free space), but that's not useful information for SMART to report?
