I think it's usually like this: When a drive has a bad sector, the sector is then read from the other raid disk but the failing disk is marked bad. Then when rebuilding, the bad sector gets written again and the drive remaps it to a spare sector. As a result all is well again. Note that the drive firmware can handle such cases differently depending on the drive type.
