Having bought a used PC and now installing smartd on it, I'm getting smartd "Critical Warning (0x04): Reliability" emails about it (full [pastebin](https://pastebin.com/2rc5cvwg)) . The Percentage Used: 112% is concerning. Is that enough for smartd to declare "Critical Warning (0x04): Reliability"?
This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

   host name:  kosh
   DNS domain: [Empty]

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/nvme0, Critical Warning (0x04): Reliability

Device info:
Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB, S/N:S4EWNM0R328374F, FW:2B2QEXM7, 1.00 TB

It looks to me like the "Invalid Field in Command" errors are red herrings since I'm running smartmontools version 7.4 where https://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/1222 has been fixed, so that should not cause tests to fail. I then ran:
$ sudo smartctl -t short /dev/nvme0n1
and now sudo smartctl --all /dev/nvme0n1 ends with:

But I don't know how to get more information about the "failed segments". Is this enough for me to conclude that the disk is bad and needs replacement, or it there still hope for it?
