You don't need to do anything. Next time you format the drive,the drive will fix it or mark it bad and add the bad block into the grown list that in the drive firmware chip. In the next year or two if it starts growing more then a few piping up it telling you the drive media or heads are starting to fail.
When drives age bad spots will pop up over time.
