While the monthly scrub was running the following errors (at the bottom

As soon as you get UNC, it's the drive reporting that it can't 
successfully read a sector. Usually this sector is then reported as 
"pending" in your SMART output.

Since the log you provided shows a lot of sectors being corrected and you 
after that have 0 pending sectors on the drive, I'd say you are now fine. 
I would run a new scrub manually in a few days just to check, but you 
might be fine going forward. There is no really good way to know, but 
generally, a drive that throws a bunch of UNC should be monitored so this 
isn't becoming a common problem. I tend to replace drives that have thrown 
these kinds of errors if it happens on any kind of regular basis.
