Reallocated Sector Count Indicates amount of remapped sectors. If the sector became bad for some reason then the drive replaces it with a spare sector from a special spare area. The value of 100 means that no sectors were remapped. The raw value of this attribute shows exact amount of reallocated sectors.

Judging from this your hard drive may have a bad sector contact your hdd manufacturer and check with them if you are entitled to a replacement.
