I wouldn't dream of contradicting David and I'm sure you've got nothing to worry about. What's a few bad blocks between friends anyway :) I will say that I have had very similar problems. I used ddrescue to read the area around the block until it read without error, and then re-wrote it. A subsequent smartctl -tlong /dev/sdX would then show no errors. In my experience the bad blocks returned regularly and I became very familiar indeed with forced rebuilds of arrays, array re-creation and other mdadm incantations as the errors hit the system. I will say that I've returned a *lot* of these under RMA (after discussions with Samsung engineers). Any drive that returns *fail* for a built-in self-test now gets 1 chance and is then RMAed.
