Those SMART numbers are not necessarily a problem.  Seagate reports them 
differently than other vendors.  I've found used Seagate drives with 
similar ridiculous numbers, but searches found that it was a normal 
Seagate thing, and the drives have continued to work normally.  For 
example, in 8191 operating hours, a Seagate Momentus drive reports a
Raw_Read_Error_Rate of 1,946,347,38 and a Seek_Error_Rate of 
110,829,183.

The counts to really watch are Reallocated_Sector_Ct and 
Current_Pending_Sector.
