I've never had Dell refuse to exchange a drive just because it passed
their sanity check. YMMV, but if you tell them "this drive
consistently has SMART errors and they only transiently go away", they
should take it.

That said, a few reallocated sectors isn't much to worry about - keep
backups, and if the reallocated count never stops growing, or if you
run out of spare sectors, then get worried.
