If that's the case, you would see the same sector numbers again when you
scan the media (dd if=/dev/sda6 of=/dev/null bs=32k), or move the drive to
a different host.

The DID_BAD_TARGET indicates a selection or reselection timeout. Might be
worth checking the cabling and termination? Or perhaps try using a MacOS
utility to scan the drive media (maybe HDT Toolkit?).

I've seen errors similar to this with the ext4 module, when the block
device fails a cache flush command. Old scsi disk drives don't implement
that.

But I was using the ext4 module with an ext2 filesystem (no journal) which
might explain why I never saw this result.
