It looks to me as though it's not telling you that the drive is perfect 
but that the number of errors are is small enough that there's no reason 
to worry.  As long as the drive keeps working and the number of bad 
sectors doesn't increase, you don't need to do anything unusual. 
(Making regular backups shouldn't be considered unusual.)
