I ignored the message. Guess what? The drive died today. Ahhhh!!!! Took me all day to recover, and I'm still not there. So I guess SMART is SMART. Found this handy Q&A in case you don't know what SMART is. Smart FAQ

I've heard horror stories about SMART causing loads of POST problems and other problems, but never me. In fact, SMART has saved my butt twice.
