 I wasn't able to figure that out from the man page,
Maybe my drives smart attributes don't cover that.

 Thanks much.  I did a lot more research and, while I
am still somewhat confused, I plan to get a new drive
and try to clone this one. (I pulled the power plug
for now)
  There is another smart attrribute that is something
like "relocated sectors", and I think the count number
is 19. I interpret that as another sentence of death
for the drive.
 That normalized count system is really confusing me.
I read several times what the man page says about it
but I can't seem to logically apply it. Maybe it is my
drive, it is pretty old. I would have posted the
output but the drive is powered down now. Since I am
going for a replacement I can wait till later to try
to figure it out. Bye the way, I was a rocket
scientist for a while so it seems I should be able to
figure  out the linux man pages, but that isn't always
true..
 Thanks again.
