I have these same drives in my NV+ and after a few months of ownership started to see these errors on one drive over a few weeks. After a month or two the drive "settled-in" at 23 reallocated sectors (zero on any of the others), and now a couple years later this drive remains at 23 sectors reallocated i.e. no further errors. At the time I'd bought a spare drive to have on hand, and I still have the spare in the static-free bag.
I've had zero data loss AFAICT, and will doubtless leave the drive alone unless-or-until it starts acting-up again. Seems to me I read somewhere that 100 sectors was Bad, but I'm sure this is all subjective.
I do of course back-up my NV+ to an external hard drive.
