I don't know. The manpage doesn't mention writing to bad blocks with -n.

You might want to do

dd if=/dev/hdx of=/dev/hdx bs=512 conv=sync,noerror

to re-write the whole disk and zero-out unreadable blocks. Or you can use
if=/dev/zero seek=lba-block-offset-in-bytes to zero out only the block in
the syslog.
