You need to use a more recent version of smartctl -- one with better documentation and clearer output. Get smartmontools 5.1-18 from http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ and read the documentation. Don't use the 5.19 release -- it's flawed.
This should answer your questions. If not, post the output from (the smartmontools 5.1-18 version of) smartctl -a and I'll comment.
[Regarding the temperature, the Drive ID string in your output was: Device: IC35L120AVV207-0 which is an IBM/Hitachi drive, not a Samsung drive as you stated in your original post. If so, the drive stores three temperatures internally in six bytes. smartmontools will display all three temperatures (current, lifetime min and lifetime max). The outdated version of smartctl that you are using simply prints the bottom four of the six bytes -- hence the very large number] .
Cheers, Bruce
