Do I need to identify (or calculate the position) of these bad blocks?
I don't mean this disrespectfully but just to better apprise you of your situation.
What you're doing is kind of like brain surgery and if you're doing brain surgery and you're asking a diabetics mailing list whether it's OK to remove this lumpy bit then you probably shouldn't be doing brain surgery.
I have a master's in computer science and a lifetime of experience and if I have to recover a hard drive in that kind of state I do a lot of reading and studying. Sometimes I have to read the source code of a tool to see what it is really doing. If I have to ask a question I ask subject matter experts, not users of this magnificent desktop environment. And with all that I don't always succeed.
Now that you mention brain surgery ... there was that old put-that-disk-in-the-fridge-trick. Remember some unpleasent situations with cables running from the wrong side of the fridge and a stressed guy defending that assembly against zombies trying to steal strawberry icecream which happed to be an essental part of the plan ... might be it was myself :)
