smartctrl labels seemingly good value pre-fail (windows and linux)

[jv]

When I run smartctl on my new Toshiba 1TB drive many of the smart parameters are labeled are labelled pre-fail which doesn't seem to make sense from the values listed. Am I doing something wrong, is my drive oddball?

Here are the results:

C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin>smartctl --all --device=ata /dev/sda
