Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Hello,
I have a Seagate 1.5T SATA drive (ST31500341AS) which has few bad blocks (I noticed it as few files were not being copied).
Later I ran "Hard Disk Sentinel" which showed 4% health with 125 bad blocks (with 3 days of life left). I backed up whatever files (couldn't backup few) available and did low level format. Now Sentinel shows 24% health with 25 days of life left.
I know we can't fix bad blocks (as they are physical) but since the LFF fixed the issue a little bit, i would like to know if there is anything else we can do to make it 100% health?
Thanks
