You can use badblock on a swap partition. However, since it isn't a filesystem, you can't map around it. Other than replacing the hard drive (probably a good idea if it is going bad), you could create 2 partitions around the bad sector and leave it unused. This depends, though, on how your drive is already partitioned.
