Depending on whether it is a physical or logical bad sector, it may be possible for the hard drive to work around the bad sectors. Once a hard drive starts to report bad sectors, usually, more will follow. I wouldn't take that risk with my data and neither should you.
Backup your data ASAP and replace the hard drive associated with that message.
Thank you for your reply. I will follow your advice and find a new HDD.
Do you have any HDD model recommendations to use with my current NAS?
