It will verify every data block, so "bad" blocks can get recorded so
they don't get used any longer.

> I always thought a format put a "jumper" so that bad sectors were ignored.

Yes - but this depends on the medium used. Flash storage media like SSDs
have their own controller which does bad block mapping on their own and
use spare blocks (usually a few percent of the capacity are reserved for
this) as substitute for defect ones. However SD cards are quite "dumb"
and 100% of the capacity is used for data - so bad blocks need to be
recorded as part of the filesystem during "long" formatting.
