You might try writing over the bad blocks to see if the drive will allocate
spares for them. If new bad blocks keep showing up you probably want to
replace the drive. If the cost of the new drive is cheap for you might
prefer to replace it now. (Unless you think there may have been a bad write
as the drive was being powered down that is causing the issue you are having.)
