You can't be so sure, not until OP reports back with testing results.

Personally, I don't think it is wise to throw away any HDD as soon as it 
gets a few pending bad blocks for whatever reason.
I had a drive with remapped bad blocks in SMART and that amount stayed 
the same for years, despite its workload and periodical full surface scan.
I mean platter surface with the modern sector density is not perfect. It 
simply can't be.
Even brand new drives are shipped with information about factory 
remapped sectors in special section inside their firmware, to cover up 
platter imperfections.
10 sectors are nothing compared to billions of them on a multi-terrabyte 
drive, if they don't grow in numbers over time, because say platter 
contamination,
and the drive is not failing mechanically, so each case should be 
examined carefully.
This is why performing regular backups and validating them is better, I 
mean you do it all anyway, than replacing drives as soon as they get a 
few bad sectors.
