The S.M.A.R.T output is saying that at some point your hard drive was hot enough to trip the censor (058) however it is currently operating at 42 degrees which is below the threshold. Ask your data center to check the chassis, make sure all fans are operating properly, maybe clean up the cables a bit to provide better airflow.
