I have found that smartctl(8) version 7.2 has trouble decoding some of the statistics for my Intel SSD 520 Series drives (Debian Stable), while smartctl(8) version 7.3 does a better job (FreeBSD-12.3-RELEASE-amd64). So, perhaps you are seeing bad information from smartctl(8) version 7.2.
Debian backports does not seem to offer smartmontools 7.3. Debian Testing and Unstable have smartmontools 7.3.Alternatively, Samsung does make software tools for their storage products. Unfortunately, I believe the tools are Windows applications; so, they require a Windows installation.
AIUI you have a HBA/RAID card in that computer. I suspect that you also have USB devices and/or other connected hardware. What happens if you disconnect everything? If the problem goes away, do a search and find the problem hardware.
