SMART data corrupted?

All of my SMART settings were pretty good (I think HD Sentinal would report something like 98%).

I reformatted to go to Windows 7, installed applications, games, etc. After a couple days I install HD Sentinal again and suddenly my drive health was 60%. Nearly all of the SMART values were 100, and every one had set the new worst value.

Despite that, HD Sentinal said the drive was working PERFECTLY (while my other 2 drives report things like bad sectors, spin up times, etc.)

The HD seems, never has any read errors or anything in the system log. I ran MHDD and it reported 2 green sectors, no brown, no red.

What happened? Can I somehow reset the SMART values?
 
Please post the RAW smart data.

A screen capture from CrystalDiskInfo would be fine.

End-to-End error shows trouble, also you can see 1 cabling error and 2 write error rate.

You can't really get drive health in a percentage though. That would just be a rough estimation on the SMART data; so likely could be explained that way. But so far you can't say the disk is prone to imminent failure. It may be suspicious though; in particular the End-to-End error count.
 
I'm just surprised it went from everything to below threshold (most of it was 0 last time I remember) to almost everything to 100.
