is this a worry? faulty

I would run the SeaTools software test and see what it reports. Sometimes a low level format can sort these issues as the drive remaps any bad sectors. I'm not a big fan of Seagate drives tbh. Seen so many fail over the years in comparison to Western Digital.
 
I always bought western digital once upon a time but had some fail and then went and bought what was a good price at that point instead.

Running seatools tests again to see what it says if anything.
 
passed all tests just not done a long generic test yet or advanced tests, formatting the drive as we speak to see if it makes any difference.
