I cannot think of any valid reason to edit SMART data, unless you want to scam someone - either manufacturer or a prospective buyer. 

 

So... Nope. Sorry.

Hey there

 

The S.M.A.R.T. status of a drive is stored on the drive's firmware. Editing that info so it appears differently voids the drive's warranty and upon receiving the actual S.M.A.R.T. status can be checked regardless if it's edited or not. According to the tool the drive is in bad health so I'd run WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic to verify these results.
