Because you have to repair them manually (630). The other value will
start to decrease when the raw passes some limit the manufacturer decides.

Remapping happens only when attempting to write a bad sector, so you
have to force the system to write to them. And there are a lot; there
are admins that will replace the disk with just one such ASAP. I don't
take such haste, but your disk is in pretty bad state.
