Only problem is usually bad sectors come back or spread in my experience...  They may come back because the area (w/ bad sectors) may be weak magnetically, or spread if it's a result of a scratch.  The head wiping over the area spreads the scratch.   Or it may never give you a problem again, but I would be suspicious of that drive until proven otherwise...
