It’s supposed to do try to write to them. If there is actual persistent write failure it’s the job of the firmware to reassign the affected LBA to a reserve physical sector. If it can’t do this, the drive is no longer normally operating, it should return a write error and ideally Btrfs would refuse to use the drive at all. I don’t know if that device rejection code exists yet. It hasn’t been the job of the filesystem to keep track of bad physical sectors since ancient times.
