When it comes to mOLD and btec sectors on SMR Seagates, that actually may save a client's data from Spinrite, assuming that every read is with a long timeout. If under 500ms, those sectors will report as bad, rather than give garbage data.
I can confirm that a Rosewood ST2000LM015-2E81 produced "moLD" sectors during cloning by ddrescue.
