Does it mean that our calculator will have fewer disk space for program storage if it has many bad flash blocks?

In the computer SSDs there is a bit of slack for bad blocks, probable these are the same chips, <1% is acceptable. Some say that the upcoming hardware revision will be hand-check by white clothed technicians assuring zero-bad-blocks.
