Affects me as well.  Even on a brand new disk with less than 1 hour of
runtime, it says "old age"

Title:
  False SMART data given on hard drives

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With any hard disk that I plug in via SATA on my PC that supports
  SMART technology, the Gnome Disk Utility, no matter how many runing
  hours the disk has had, will tell me that every single attribute has a
  "Pre-Fail" or "Old-Age" type, which I know is completely untrue
  especially because of the fact that I have tried this over and over
  again on multiple PCs and multiple Hard Disks.

  Maybe the Disk Utility just isn't calibrated correctly for modern
  disks?
