Sorry, the FAQ [1] on smartmontools.org does not agree with your statement:

* What details can be interpreted from Raw read error rate?
  If no documentation is available, the RAW value of attribute 1 is typically useless. 
 The 48-bit field might encode several values, try -v 1,hex48 to check. 

All the best
