I ran SeaTools and the same found a lot of badsectors, each badsectors means that damaged a file? Or thousands of bad sectors can be related to a single file?

I have a Seagate hard drive with 1.5 TB and millions of files.

The vast majority of files are images, music, texts, pdfs, programs and ISOs, no videos.

Small files it's less chances to be corrupted? (TXT and JPEGs)?

Surely these bad sectors were already in HD and they haven't appeared in just one week, but even with this list with a lot of bad sectors that SeaTools finda, I never had problems to execute or view any file, I never find any damaged file.
