Andy now says,
I wonder if the TM restore would now work. But it sounds like the wise move is to replace the drive, and maybe use the old one in an enclosure for non-essential storage or scratch files, or something.
Would a Core2Duo MBP from 2006 support a hybrid drive?

I was able to zero all data on the drive and now the bad sector indicator in Smart Utility is down to zero. It also passes both the long and short tests, something it didn't do before. And Disk Utility has always indicated it is SMART verified. Which makes me wonder if they would actually replace it under warranty.
