Assuming the raw value is hours, that's about 5.5 years of power on time.

Assuming the raw value is Celsius, that's somewhat warmer than ideal.
I would be looking at the airflow inside the machine and removing any dust.

That depends on your appetite for risk. I don't see anything else alarming
in the data you provided. But, that's because I am accustomed to having
several layers of backup available, so I can tolerate a high level of risk.
Even when a hard drive is brand new, I make sure to have sufficient backup
copies of important data that I can recover whatever is important to me
if the drive fails.
I have several personal machines and I run my hard drives to failure.
For example, the primary hard drive in this machine started failing self
test, due to read errors, at around 17000 hours. I did some recovery procedure
to remap the problem sectors, and the drive is now at 28000 hours
with no further problems.
