Weird is that I restored the Time Machine backup perfectly. I reran this 
test, but it was the same even though the backup was restored fully and 
Disk Utility found no problems before and after logging back into the 
restored HDD.

It might be worse. Stay tuned... I'm going to start a new thread since I 
need SMART experts to read the logs.

Bummer. :(

I already did. No errors, but SMART is a different story. Backups are 
often before the incident. Not sure if I want to keep backing up on 
this "unstable" HDD if it is dying.

therefore, ordered that his luggage be taken away from underneath that 
tree and then ordered that the dwelling place of the ants should be set 
on fire. Allah sent him a revelation: 'Wouldn't it have been sufficient 
to burn a single ant (that bit you)?'" --Translation of Sahih Bukhari,
