fsck  run with -c, which forces badblocks to run. Or you can run that
directly.

Looks like only one sector's bad. Running badblocks should, I think, mark
that sector as bad, so the system doesn't try to read or write there. I've
got a user whose workstation has had a bad sector running for over a year.
However, if it becomes two, or four, or 64 sectors, it's replacement time,
asap.
