[smartmontools-support] Offline_Uncorrectable 1, but no pending or reallocated blocks

Hello!

I'm sure you are flooded with "is my drive failing?" emails, but I
couldn't find clear explanation on my situation.

This is a 4 year old WD Red 2TB. Few days ago, smartd reported that
Extended offline test had failed, and Current_Pending_Sector was 1. I
checked with "smartctl -a" and also Offline_Uncorrectable was 1.

I read the "BadBlock HOWTO" and wrote the offending block with dd.
This did change things, now Current_Pending_Sector is 0. However,
number of reallocated blocks is still zero, and Offline_Uncorrectable
is still 1... Extended offline test passes now.

The problem is, smartd keeps mailing me every night about the
uncorrectable sector. Drive appears to be working fine otherwise.

Current output of "smartctl -a" below.
