The -P argument to the defects subcommand gives you the permanent defect list, which is created at the factory. It is a list of blocks that were bad when the disk was manufactured. Your list is fairly short. If you use the -G argument, you get the grown defect list, which is the list if defects that have popped up since the drive left the factory. If you use both -P and -G, you'll get both lists at the same time.
