So, you only have a single disk in the system, /dev/sda.

Well, the format should be the same, but surely if the drive was
failing the overall result wasn't Passed?  In reading the -A option of
man smartctl, I see from the results you got that your drive is in
excellent shape. It is no where near failure.

They are all defaulting to /dev/sda since it is the only disk on your
system.  A question mark means an undefined single character, not a
literal question mark.  In this case it is a.  Things in brackets are
not meant to be literal either, but replaced by what is defined in the
brackets.

I've never used it, so can provide no help.
