hard-disk external-hdd smartctl smart smartmontools

I just bought a "new" and very cheap hdd online. I used some kinda usb3.0 hdd box to connect to my PC. By running smartctl, I can see the following outputs

9 Power_On_Hours          0x0012   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       0

Error 4 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 19132 hours

SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Vendor (0xb0)       Completed without error       00%     47354         -
# 2  Vendor (0x71)       Completed without error       00%     47354         -

The complete output: https://hastebin.com/zafejecopu.yaml What do those errors mean? Can I determine the real lifetime value from the smartctl output? Thanks a lot.
