I only enabled it in FC10 I think (I cannot recall when I actually turned it on). I started seeing the problem right away when I had enabled the smarts daemon. Assuming what you say is the case, I guess I should ignore the smarts report until the number of failed sectors rise higher than 129. It has been at 129 for as far as I can recall.
