What do “current”, “worse” and “threshold” reallocated sectors mean in harddrive SMART info

hard drivesmart

CrystalDiskInfo reports the following warning:

Number of reallocated sectors:
Current: 96
Worse: 96
Threshold: 10
Raw value: 00000000000A

But I have no idea how to read these numbers. What do the current/worse values mean in particular, and what is the threshold?

Edit

Please see below the details of the drive:

Explanation:

  • Attributes describes the measured value of hard drive controller operations.

  • The values of an attribute are: current, worst, threshold and raw.

  • Values are normalized to a vendor specific scale. Scales could be ranged up to 100, 200 or 253.

  • Often higher values are better than lower values.

  • The threshold marks the value at which the hard drive could fail.

  • The worst value is the baddest value seen for this drive at this attribute.

  • The raw value is a vendor coded count that give, after decoding, the normal values like current, worst and threshold.
