Is my harddrive really dying or not?!

Hi everybody!

 

I've just changed to a new server and in /var/log/messages

I am seeing this every 1/2 hour:

smartd[5833]: Device: /dev/sda, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors 

 

I know that this might sound a faulty harddrive, but this number isn't increasing, it is the same since a week now.

And if i run smartctl long test there isn't any errors reported!

 

Above all here is the output of "smartctl -a /dev/sda"

Which shows "no errors" even this line sais no errors:

 

7 Seek_Error_Rate         0x002e   200   200   000    Old_age   Always       -       0

 

So what is this error, should i worry/change HDD, or is it better to wait, if there will be any more increasing number of errors, or if possible how can i solve it?

 

I changed the FAN in the computer in hope it was the temperature, but this error persists...
