Right. So just use smartctl -t long on the drive. In the next section
you didn't paste in, it'll tell you the LBA for the bad sector and
that's what you need to write over to fix this.

The smartmontools resource previously cited has useful information on
how to find out what you've lost in this sector. If it's filesystem
metadata it's rather important to e2fsck -f the file system (or
xfs_repair, or btrfs scrub) to fix this so it doesn't end up causing
worse problems down the road. A block of missing metadata can usually
be reconstructed - but not always. Better to find out now.
