It didn't, so this time I'm having "e2fsck -c -c -o /badblocks /dev/sdc1". So its been walking through that drive at about 110M/S doing a non-destructive read/write/check read/restore original data.
But it will be about 36 hours at the present rate. 25.4% in 9:01:00 elasped time. It hasn't found an error so far since /badblocks has even been created yet. Or maybe it doesn't when e2fsck runs it.
