Looks like you have one of many drives the have a broken firmware. openSUSE has a special package named storage-fixup, that reconfigures your drive so that this does not happen, presupposed it is contained in the list of known broken devices.
With so many Load_Cycles you can consider your drive close before failure. Better you replace it soon.
All this happened with one of my drives, too. It was part of a RAID1, so I was
save as it failed. Two other drives showed the same symptoms, but storage- fixup saved them.

Thanks Herbert,
But unbelievably my drive is not one contained in /etc/storage-fixup.conf
I don't think storage-fixup upstream has seen any updates in 5 years, so it isn't surprising your new drive isn't in there. I'd just add it. Or you can add it to this minimalistic patch openSUSE maintains for the config file: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/storage-fixup/stora... BTW: WD adds an extra zero in their model numbers 5 years ago, so the WDC WD3200BEVT-22ZCT0 is a 320 GB drive, not a a 3.2 TB drive. I don't know if they still do that or not.
