A few bad sectors is not necessarily a bad sign. I have quite a few drives with bad sectors in raid arrays at work (that have had bad sectors for several years and have no issues at all caused by that). It is however a bad sign if the # of bad sectors is quite large and expands over time. The difference is if the bad sector is caused by an isolated media defect or a mechanical or head failure.
In this case the user has 2005 bad sectors which is probably more than just an isolated media defect.
Where are you coming up with 2005 bad sectors?
