Not at all.  First, suspiciously high "raw" numbers can't always be taken
at face value.  Seagate in particular likes to pack more than one number
into that variable, frequently the total number of operations in addition
to the error count, so you have to trust the normalized values, or
perhaps go Googling for info on that raw value for your particular drive
model.  Second, for the normalized values, higher is better.  A failure
is indicated by a normalized value that is at or below the threshold.

None of the SMART Attributes Data you have posted indicate any serious
problem with the drives.
