You better run a long test ("smartctl --test=long /dev/sdx") if you want
to full check the disks SMART status or even better yet, get the SeaTools
from Seagate website (it's a LiveCD) and run the manufacturer's own
utilities to check the SMART health of your disks.

These are from my Seagate disks (with no raid):
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 083 063 044 Pre-fail Always
- 224879105
7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000f 078 060 030 Pre-fail Always
- 8755168005
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 084 084 000 Old_age Always
- 14225
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 081 064 044 Pre-fail Always
- 150503837
7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000f 076 060 030 Pre-fail Always
- 45033025
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 084 084 000 Old_age Always
- 14241
I think those values can be "acceptable" for Seagate hard disks, because
every manufacturer interprets the values differently, if no, my disks would
have to be died time ago:

It's alwayd a good idea to update the backup copy but to be sure there is no
SMART problem, I would go for the hard disk manufacturer disc utilities.
