if the numbers of bad sectors is increasing then you need to RMA the HDD but if the raed/write speed and performance of the HDD is OK, seatools is not showing you any SMART errors and there's only a few bad sectors then they can be fixed using the seatools app and you can use the HDD without any issue.

After a detailed scan Seatools will offer you to fix the bad sectors which do it very well - I recommend to use seatools other than any third party HDD tool for repairing bad sectors but if seatools finds more than 400 bad sectors it's time for RMA the drive.
