I found an interesting feature in the manual:

              defects[,NUM]  -  [ATA  only] [NEW EXPERIMENTAL SMARTCTL FEATURE] prints LBA and hours values from
              the ATA Pending Defects log (General Purpose Log address 0x0c).  Only the 31  entries  from  first
              log  page  are printed by default.  This number can be changed by the optional parameter NUM.  The
              size of the log and the order of the entries are vendor specific.  The  Pending  Defects  log  was
              introduced in ACS-4 Revision 01 (Mar 2014).

But:

linux-ssd:~ # smartctl --log=defects /dev/sdf
smartctl 6.6 2017-11-05 r4594 [x86_64-linux-4.12.14-lp150.12.4-default] (SUSE RPM)
Copyright (C) 2002-17, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org

Pending Defects log (GP Log 0x0c) not supported

linux-ssd:~ # 

I bought that disk on 2014-03 precisely.
