That's not the serial number of the drive- as assigned by the drive manufacturer.
If you want the SN from the drive manufacturer, you will need to issue an IOCTL ATA Passthrough command which sends the ATA Identify Device command to the drive. Unless the Winapi has a wrapper for that functionality, you can't do that via Python. You would have to install the Windows SDK to compile a tiny program to issue the Identify Device command and pull out the SN from the data coming back, which is only 512 bytes. This would have to be written in C. It's not difficult to do and the program would only require less than100 lines of C code.
