It's a "young" disk.

ie, two hours ago. That's about it.

I guess that's an unreadable sector (3 sectors).

You haven't done a short/long/ test recently: those seems to be two short
tests made by the computer installer (at 1 hour of age). So, do a short
test, then a long one. You can continue using your computer somewhat
during the test, but it's better you stop all disk intensive activities,
even things like mail fetching if possible, or it will take way longer to
test. When finished, read the results again.
Tricks: Writing to the bad sector will trigerg remapping it. You can
detect them all by copying all sectors to /dev/null with dd.

Dunno. Run those tests first.
