Need help with "reallocated sector count"?



Hello,
I want to ask a question about my Seagate drives SMART attribute
"reallocated sector count".

"reallocated sector count" is at the limit. The values are i look with
my Smart utility:

Current: 98, Worst: 98, Threshold: 36, Data: 98

I checked my drive a lot of times with SEATOOLS with "complete FULL
scan" also checked with regular chkdsk /f function. No bad blocks are
found (zero) 0 kb.

So, what does the warning about "reallocated sector count"?

Are they really bad sectors which are hidden or what is it?

If there are bad blocks hidden, why is there popular utilities like
Seatools which can find bad blocks and replace them (zero-fill
replacing)?

Please help.

Regards...

.
