Bad block handling in UNIX file systems is a really, really old feature (dating
back to the 70's). I assume that reiserfs, when it was originally written still
had some exposure to older drives of that era and assumed is was a useful
feature to add.
Personally, I would not put this kind of feature into any new file system being
written today ;-)
