If the data is not important, or is properly backed up, you could run a complete write scan; if those sectors have been marked as bad because of an inconsistent state (which can happen for instance when there's a power failure during a write operation), overwriting them should remove them from the “pending sectors” list – if that's indeed where they appear currently. Posting a screenshot of the “SMART” tab (not the “overview”) might help to refine the diagnosis.
