Well, the format should be the same, but surely if the drive was failing the overall result wasn't Passed? In reading the -A option of man smartctl, I see from the results you got that your drive is in excellent shape.

They are all defaulting to /dev/sda since it is the only disk on your system. A question mark means an undefined single character, not a literal question mark. In this case it is a. Things in brackets are not meant to be literal either, but replaced by what is defined in the brackets. > The "Disks" I was referring to is what Samuel identified.
