I seem to have the world's oldest SSD (or am I misinterpreting the output?)

  (shell 1) ~# smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep -e Power_On_Hours -e ^ID
  ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAG     VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE      UPDATED  WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
  9 Power_On_Hours_and_Msec 0x0032   000   000   000    Old_age   Always       -       933932h+27m+33.940s

More often than not SMART attributes are completely undocumented and the interpretation of their raw values is a pure guesswork on smartctl devs' part. For your SSD make/model they just have it wrong.

That would make for 106 years of power on time, so it's probably not right...

That is one of the most careful uses of "probably" that I have ever seen.
