I switched SATA and power supply cables for this disc with cables from
disc that works fine and problem still persists. So either it's a
hardware problem associated with this disc (I eliminated other
hardware factors) or some strange software/S.M.A.R.T bug.

I downgraded smartmontools to 5.39.1-1.fc13 and problem persists. So I
guess the final factor that needs to be eliminated is kernel bug.
