These are the values that can indicate health problems with the
disk.
None of them look bad except the temperature - which is only bad
because of the specs on the disk - and

which confirms that something is stuck, but it's just one
sector.
I would not worry about this unless some new symptom emerges.
Make backups, but only because you should pretty much always
have backups.
