It is possibly is a bug in the Intel X25 G1 firmware Intel did never fix (a similar bug in G2 was fixed). But I don't remember any related report since the G1 series was introduced in 2009(!).

It is possibly not a smartmontools bug, except if the problem did not occur with older versions.

Please test if '-F nologdir' changes anything. If not, test whether another problem occurs if '-l selftest' is not specified: Don't use '-a' in smartd.conf, use '-H -f -t -l error' instead.

All that could be done in smartmontools is to add another -F ( --firmwarebug) option to suppress accesses to self-test log. If desired, please create a ticket upstream. But I'm not sure whether this enhancement is worth the (non-trivial) effort for a single SSD series introduced 6+ years ago.
