Yes I've monitored it, it increments every few seconds when the system
is idle. If I do something to keep the disk active, it does not
increment. If I set the power save level up to 254, it stops
incrementing. I'm certain the value is accurate.

Google the interwebs for more information. Some drives seem to report
impossibly high, thus completely bogus numbers. It would appear yours
is one of them.
