I'd replace it and be done with it. I agree. I would consider going down the road after zeroing the drive and then running an extended SMART test, to see if many blocks are being reallocated or other indicates of pre-drive failure, or aging. Maybe relegate it to a low priority task - Time Machine or dd to ISO one drive to this one and just put it on a shelf. Just in case.
