Hi,
If you have a Western Digital Hard Drive inside in that iMac, that
problem will arise. There is an issue with certain firmware versioins
on the slot loader iMac G3s that would conflict with 6-80gb Western
Digital Caviar HDs. Has this hard drive been replaced at any time? You
may want to look at a Seagate or something to replace it with. Its not
a fixable though. However, the Harddrive hasn't gone bad, its just a
bug with SMART, and in any other computer it will work fine.

Sometimes I will sleep my iMac G3 350mHz 10.3 panther and it will
sleep fine for a few seconds. But the hard drive will then rev up,

happen?
Sounds like its time to fire up disk util or system profiler. If the
hard drive starts with WDC its western digital. If it starts with ST
its Seagate. My iMac DV has its original Seagate in it btw...
