I have booted Windows 7 on my laptop and ran HD Sentinel Free 
(www.hdsentinel.com).
It displayed that I have 3 bad sectors which are reallocated.

My reallocated sector count was:
0x07CF00010003

GSmartControl gave me: 8585639690243
Palimpsest gave me: 65539

So warning is real in my case but number is incorrect.

In case of Jose Mico  (wrote on 2009-11-05:       #50)
  0x01000F000000 65551 Probably 15 (F) or 0 RSC
  0x010007000000 65543 Probably 7 (7) or 0 RSC
  0x07002E000000 458798 Probably 46 (2E) or 0 RSC
  0x050011000000 327697 Probably 17 (11) or 0 RSC
  0xB4001D000000 1900724 Probably 29 (1D) or 0 RSC

I think compare these values to threshold:
if value > threshold and smart reports ok then just ignore warning
if value < threshold and smart reports ok then it is unkown (maybe correct or 
not)
if smart reports fail then backup all your data
