smartctl puzzlement new disk

Supermicro workstation, Debian Buster, smartctl v 6.6
I bought a new 12TB Western Digital Gold SATA disk the other day. After testing it, smartctl says, among other things:
22 Unknown_Attribute 0x0023 001 001 025 Pre-fail Always FAILING_NOW 13
And it looks like the test is aborted when smartctl sees that error. And there's lots of yelling all over my monitor.
I found some discussion of ID 22 on the 'Net -- it's often used to mean 'helium level' which makes some sense on a 12TB disk. But testing the Seagate 12TB next to the Western Digital is OK -- sorta; there's no ID 22 in the output.
The Wikipedia article on S.M.A.R.T lists ID 22 as having to do with the helium.
On the web, it looked like there's a way of changing what ID 22's called so smartctl won't hurl. I'd like the test to just keep going and tell me the other things it finds.
My questions:
Is this error on ID 22 anything to worry about?
(I'm guessing that it isn't, and smartctl and/or something in the Western Digital disk's firmware is mildly wrong)
Is there really a way to change 22 so smartctl will report the helium level? How do I do that?
Is there a way to to get smartctl to finish the test? If so, how do I do that?
TIA...
