The above are measurements that indicate pending drive failure, so your
drive seems fine there (all 0).

This means that your system isn't set up to run self-sets via smartd.
It'd probably be a good idea to set it up to do so.  I think the default
config file has an example for daily short tests and weekly long tests.
 Add the flag to email yourself in case of trouble, and you may get the
chance to replace a failing drive before it's too late.
