Not using the laptop or replacement of the hard drive is the only way to prevent increasement of the attributes.
It is a physical issue, the system had to 'reallocate' those sectors on the drive, eventually when there are no sectors in the reserved part left more problems will arise like system freezes, BSODs, performance decreases drastically, etc.
Please note, this is only when the hard drive has no reserved sectors left, a huge amount of bad sectors and is almost at the worst situation at which you are by far not :)
