Same as PATA. It is done by the disk hardware, no cpu intervention.
Since the OP has the sector #, he should use dd to read in the sector from the good drive to a temp file. Then use dd to write it back out to the failed drive. In theory the bad drive will see that someone is writing to a bad sector and re-map it to one of the spare sectors.
