It means you have a bad sector. That seems pretty bad for a hdd thats only been on for 800 hours. I have a drive that has 40k hours with zero bad sectors...

It is tied to a pending uncorrectable sector, so the drive will try to remap it to a spare sector much like a SSD, but it might not be able to if it cant read the data.

keep tracking it, if it still go up regularly, junk it.
