Description
smartctl.8.in says:
(...) An indication that your Samsung disk needs this option is that the self-test log is printed correctly, but there are a very large number of errors in the SMART error log. This is because the error count is byte swapped. Thus a disk with five errors (0x0005) will appear to have 20480 errors (0x5000).

However, a byte-swapped 0x0005 would not be 0x5000, that value is both byte-swapped and nibble-swapped, which -while not impossible- would be quite unusual. I strongly suspect that was an error when writing it and it should read 0x0500.
