For your drive to have any visible bad sectors, at all, means your drive has run out of spare sectors(i.e. several % of the drive has failed) and is
dying. This isn't the bad old days when drives came with defect lists.

ntfsfix
NTFSFIX(8) System Manager's Manual NTFSFIX(8)
NAME
ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS
SYNOPSIS
ntfsfix [options] device
DESCRIPTION
ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental
NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.
You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Windows or some other way and it cannot be mounted.
OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by -
and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
-fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.
-b, --clear-bad-sectors
Clear the list of bad sectors. This is useful after cloning an old disk with bad sectors to a new disk.
-d, --clear-dirty
Clear the volume dirty flag if the volume can be fixed and mounted. If the option is not present or the volume cannot be fixed, the
dirty volume flag is set to request a volume checking at next mount.
-h, --help
Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
-n, --do-nothing
Do not write anything, just show what would have been done.
-V, --version
Show the version number, copyright and license
