Hard Drive Cloning because of S.M.A.R.T Warning

Hardware Hub Storage

I have just done a clone of my original main hard drive to a new hard drive. I had originally done this because on the original drive there was a warning on 'Current Pending Sector Count'. Since I have now cloned the original hard drive to a new one, the errors seem to have been carried over in a way, from what I can see the same value is appearing but this time on 'Reallocated Sectors Count'. Is there anything I can do to resolve it? Below is the CrystalDiskInfo Comparison between the old drive and the new drive.

Edit: If anyone wants to see the log from my lask chkdsk scan that I did, which was done after I cloned the hard drive, I am able to post it if needed. I also have a log from before I cloned and changed hard drive.

I was going to tell you to do a chkdsk, as that's a step a lot of people overlook.

I don't know a whole lot about smart attributes, as I'm fairly new to monitoring smart at all. (Personal server stuffs). But from the looks of some quick research, your new hard drive could already be failing. You have nothing to lose by returning it to the retailer/wholesaler/manufacturer. Just DBAN it if you're concerned about your security.
