Should I be worried about this one? Seagate 500GB sata

/dev/sdb:

ATA device, with non-removable media
        Model Number:       ST3500320AS
        Serial Number:      9QM5BB7Y
        Firmware Revision:  SD15
        Transport:          Serial
..

According to Seagate, that particular unit has a 1/320 chance
of being bricked at power-on, so.. yeah, I'd worry.

But there's a simple bootable .iso image with a firmware-updater on it
(along with an exceptionally confusing README, which you should ignore)
at these links:
