That looks like you for some reason got bits scrambled on the SATA cable.
That can happen very occasionally with SATA and isn't fatal (it's
checksummed and caught as part of the design)

And we then come back. Generally speaking smartutils will tell you if you
have a drive problem and can ask the drive about that. If you only get
these very very rarely I wouldn't be too worried. If they keep popping up
it may be worth further investigation, cable checking etc.
