Thats not the answer on  my question :) i have many boxes with....

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/hda, 3 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

.....such messages and they still running fine after 2+ years (and have a
lot data reads/writes)

So now the right answer please :)
