Just curious: did you end up overwriting the sector by booting to a
rescue disk and using a Linux tool (e.g. hdparm --write-sector, as
described by Robert)... or did you find a tool that works under Windows
to do that sort of writing to a specific disk sector?

(Yes, the entry for that error will always stay in the error log, which
is just a record of errors that have happened in the past; it's only a
problem if new entries start appearing in the log.)
