The output looks good to me.
You should be able to run the long test, even through the USB interface.
Good point about the firmware update, although a quick look on the web
doesn't indicate an update is available. Many disk drives firmware can
be updated from Linux with the hdparm tool (hdparm --fwdownload),
although it may be easier to use the Windows or mac tools provided by
the manufacturer, if you have those OSes available to you.

Once more, I can read this on my browser, probably should have
tested it that way first time around.

No cause for concern in this, but the USB interface isn't giving all
the information. I'd connect the drive with the
native interface (e.g., put it in a spare system) and run the long
test. Another concern is that the drive may have
some custom firmware. See if you can download a data sheet -- drives
manufactured to OEM specs for
a specific application seldom have data sheets -- and check for
firmware updates on the vendor's support site.
