SMART only has "passed" and "failed" for each attribute; no such thing as "warning". The number of reallocated sectors that is bad varies much from drive to drive; Palimpsest is not qualified to make up a threshold itself and apply to all drives, even when those drives' manufacturers have decided that it is fine.

@Manni: For your information, the "normalized" is the current "score" for this attribute. As things get worse, the score will go down, when the score goes below the "threshold", SMART will report it as "failed". The "worst" is the worst score that the drive has gotten in the past (e.g. highest temperature, etc.), for things where the drive has subsequently improved. For Tiago's screenshot, his normalized score of 100 is very far from the threshold of 0, which means the number of reallocated sectors is still very far from being a critical problem.
