All modern devices implement word53 and the above code probably never runs in your case.

There are 55 per cent chances that this is a hardware problem and
45 % that this is a software bug.

This seems more like a hardware problem to me.

9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 098 098 000 Old_age Always - 2207

Error 6 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 2202 hours (91 days + 18 hours)
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

After command completion occurred, registers were:

There have been a series of read errors on LBA 0x20cbc about five hours before the smart log was dumped. The error status as seen by the drive is uncorrectable media error at LBA 0x20cbc. The failing command is READ for LBA 0x20c2f, so the drive could read some sectors but not all of them. Maybe the command times out while the drive keeps retrying read.

Hmmm.. errors in smart log and dmesg don't have matching LBAs. So, it's possible that those failed read and the command timeouts are unrelated. Please keep watching and report. We need more info to determine what's going on.
