Try zero-filling the drive (a.k.a. low-level format). I've gotten SMART errors with a HDD, ran utils and diagnosed an error. I zero-filled the drive before doing an RMA (I wanted to wipe my data) only to notice that the error was gone. The drive is still working flawlessly a year later.

I'd RMA if you can though.

its out of warranty. How exactly do I do a low level format(zero fill)?

I personally wouldn't trust the drive anymore... but your hard disk manufacturer should have utilties to do this.
