As the location and contents of this sector are quite hard to find, the simplest, but the most troublesome way of solving the problem is moving all data away from this disk, writing the whole surface with zeros (dd) and moving the data back. However, I would carefully monitor number of reallocated sectors on this disk. If it grows steadily, then better move your valuable data elsewhere.
