I ran hdck and got this:

Disk status: bad
sectors that required more than 2 read attempts detected
What should I do? All my partitions are EXT4, except for boot which is ext2. My disk's head parks very often because lately I mostly read documents on my laptop, so I want it to save energy and be quiet.

Backup your data.
you can check the Drive error log via SMART:
smartctl --all /dev/sda
and do a drive check via:
smartctl --test=long /dev/sda
if the smart error log/statistics look bad, the you should buy a new disk.

SMART said "passed".. and no errors whatsoever... isn't that strange? or is hdck overzealous?

hdck seems to be doing a statistical analysis based on the time needed to read the sectors. I'd say that unless the disk is not being used by anything else, any spurious disk access by the OS or any application might be able to trigger false positives.
I would keep an eye on the smart parameters for any sign of possible trouble and if really doubting if the disk is ok then I would run a few passes of badblocks and make sure the disk is ok.

Don't just look at the "overall health status" from smartctl. You need to look at the individual variables it monitors. You can also run various tests. Which ones depend on the disk but smartctl can tell you what's available.

see the relocated sector count in smartctrl -a, if it's non-zero, then you had bad sectors. Now each track on a classical HDD (not SSD) has a few spare sectors / track. These spare sectors are used to replace damaged ones. The problem is that usually, once sectors go bad, the near by sectors will also die relatively quick. The best thing to do is to back up your "important" data right away, just to be on the safe side, after that, you can try to live with that HDD, but now days hdds are relatively cheap, so maybe go out and buy a new one ...

Current Pending Sector is also one to look at - sometimes it cannot reallocate.
