Hi,
you can try to rewrite only the sectors at the LBA addresses shown in the smart test failure,
this often is enough to relocate them to spare sectors.
You might need to repeat it a few times until all bad sectors are relocated.
You should also check that the drive is properly powered, once I got mad
at a raid array showing a lot of errors like this just due to a faulty PSU.

                        exit 0
                ;;

Hope this helps, but use at your own risk.
