The host, in fact, hasn't seen an error. There is no trace of any
I/O error reports in logs going back a year. Absolutely the only
error I'm seeing is smart itself reporting 8 pending sectors over
and over again, yet a long selftest doesn't find a single bad LBA.

At this point I suspect confused firmware in the SMART department
and nothing at all actually wrong with the disk :-). (My crucial
SSD drive was another one that had a SMART firmware bug so that
it stopped working right after 5000 some-odd hours of operation
not because there was anything wrong, but because the SMART
firmware was busted - fortunately a firmware update fixed it).
