Not really. The sectors being reported are bad and are going to
stay bad. The drive can't relocated them until they are written
on. 

If they are part of the swap partition, you can zero out and
rebuild the swap. Do a long SMART test first to detect bad
sectors. Then turn swap off, dd /dev/zero to the partition,
mkswap, and turn swap back on.

If the errors are in files or metadata, it would be best to
backup what you need.

Either way you need a new drive.
