Ominous smartd messages ....

I have a workstation, recently (within the last 12 mos.) purpose built
that is my dev. box for in house software (CFD code & user interface).
It has 8 1 TB HDD's in a ZFS unmirrored pool. All data is backed up
nightly by rsunc to other boxen on my LAN & weekly by compressed tar to
those boxen as well. This A.M., I noticed some messages on the console
from smartd about 1 of the HDDs. I tailed my syslog file & see the
following:

I am asking about the smartd messages from overnight Aug 1-2. The rest
gives a bit of context about the duty cycle of the machine, which is
pretty light except for rebuild code nightly & run a suite of scripted
tests, some of which obviously don't complete successfully :-). The
HDD's were brand new 2.5" SATA3 7200 RPM HGST's, which I have had good
luck with in other builds (I have about 25 in service, all purchased new
from NewEgg for each build). Case is well ventilated, drives are cool,
etc. From a shell script to nicely format smartctl output:

My question is: Are these messages benign, or am I in the market for
more hardware ? *ANY* more questions, please ask. TIA & have a good one.
