I think based on the number of ECC errors in the 4000 hour run time, plus the uncorrectable offline event, plus the hardware read errors in addition to the fact that it is not passing the short offline test. This drive is poorly enough to justify warranty replacement.
It is still under warranty with Samsung so if it were me I would run from the mirror disk, do a secure wipe of any sensitive data and send this drive back under RMA.
RMA's for consumer grade gear can take time, so whether you are comfortable with running without the protection of the mirror for what is likely to be 2-3 weeks depends on what other arrangements you have for backups.
