Thus, in order to find out the LBA address of the bad sectors and rewrite them I run "badblocks". And then, contrary to the common knowledge, when I do that the bad sectors disappear and SMART reports no pending sectors (!). I do not have an explanation, only that it has happened to me every time I tried since I remember (say three years back) and others.
That sounds like "badblocks -n". The possibility, also, is that badblocks triggers the drive to do a rewrite internally. When the bad sectors disappear, does the data stored in those sectors disappear at the same time?
