Fsck was designed to check the file system integrity and to repair it when possible. There is no way with fsck to repair the files themselves. Even if all of their blocks are readable, that doesn't mean they are not (silently) corrupted.
That's one of the reasons why UFS is essentially obsolete and replaced by ZFS under Solaris.
With ZFS, you can use "scrub" to check and repair everything, including file contents when there is redundancy (ditto blocks, raidz or mirror).

--repair Repair the specified package(s).
--pkg package-id
Add the specified package to the list of packages to verify or repair.
