We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

But if truly 131088 reallocated sectors, the disk is likely dying and if you try to read data off it I wouldn't doubt if you'd start to get errors.
That is like a ten year old hard drive. If there's anything you need off there then dd the disk to an image file or if it's really important look for a data recovery service.
2^17 is exactly 131072, just exactly 16 (2^4 ) away from 131088, sus
the 131072 ones would probably go away without actual reallocation on next write, that seems to be an intermittent issue on HGSTs, losing whole tracks randomly (possibly caused by incorrect disconnect, had that happen once. that thing has quite a lot of power-on counts, q-sense error rate is also quite high). Ofc that's 64kB of data lost.
I'd be more concerned about the other 16 honestly
