As you already said, nobody knows with 100% certainty.
In the failures I've experienced I'd expect it to start catching
errors within a few days. However, on those drives the relocated
sector count never increases, which suggests that the firmware never
relocated those sectors when overwritten, which seems brain-dead to
me.
If the drive relocates the sectors, then conceivably it could go quite
a long time until having errors, probably in an entirely different set
of sectors.
Even if it doesn't relocate, the reliability of the bad sectors could
be high or low.
