Ah, let's see.

Any comments?
One Pending out of six! Much better. Well, what about the long test? Do that. The thing to do now is overwrite the bad sector with anything. Assuming the badblocks program printed the LBA, it is possible to find where that sector is. Finding the file is far from trivial, though, so you may have to overwrite the entire partition. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
