This is a (usually harmless) drive firmware bug.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

This means that the author of the drive firmware ignored this requirement from ATA standards:
A.20.2 Self-test log data structure revision number
The value of the self-test log data structure revision number shall be 0001h.
This is usually harmless.
