A better question might be, "Where can I get a good price on IDE
drives?" ;-)
But you can try running badblocks on it for confirmation. Once you know
exactly what range of sectors is damaged, you can usually create your
partitions around it (leaving a few extra for a margin of safety) and
continue to use the disk for quite a while. I do this for old service
laptops.
