A fix was released 6 months ago! https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/1222#comment:10

It hasn't made it out to Ubuntu yet; I'm running mantic and smartmontools is at 7.3, while they explained (https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/1222#comment:16) this needs 7.4:

root@server:~# apt-cache policy smartmontools
smartmontools:
  Installé : 7.3-1
  Candidat : 7.3-1
 Table de version :
 *** 7.3-1 500
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It's gotten noisier too, since I decided to put my NVMe drive to work; now I'm getting multiple emails a day with these spurious errors.

But I see in https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smartmontools that noble has 7.4, so that means that in 4 months when the next Ubuntu comes out this will finally be fixed.
