Is badblock writing test useful for SSD taking into account wear 
leveling? Each write should be mapped to another physical address. All 
errors should be handled by firmware.

To test low-end USB pen drives and SD cards there is the f3 (Fight Flash 
Fraud or Fight Fake Flash) tool, however such test should not be 
necessary for a SATA SSD.

Have you checked that no firmware update is available for this drive?

I have experienced just a few failures of HDD. It may be irrelevant for 
SSD, but in the case of HDD I would replace the disk reporting 
Current_Pending_Sector as soon as possible. It seems, repeating reports 
from smartd are intentional.

On the other hand the "VALUE" has not decreased and is still 100, and 
the attribute is not marked as "pre-fail". Perhaps there is not reason 
to worry to much.

I am unsure concerning accounting if an error happens during reading a 
file then the file is deleted without overwriting and the address range 
is marked unused (trimmed).
