Did you try to attach it through a USB-SATA interface? Is possible, please also try a native (PCI/...) SATA interface instead. (The USB2-SATA adapters usually hide some details due to limitations in the USB mass-storage protocol.)
Yes, it seems that the SSD starts but it has problems reading your data later on.
Has the SSD been unpowered for a longer period of time? (Months)
Does the SSD case look legitimate? The output from your logfile looks a bit strange to me, but I am not sure. I have seen a fake Samsung SSD in the wild already (which was sold by a reputable dealer). The indicators I found on that fake SSD were the following:
* A Samsung Logo was missing on a sticker on the SSD
* The serial number format was wrong
* A sticker was attached on the wrong side of the SSD, not covering the screwholes
* The firmware version it reported did not adhere to the Samsung Firmware number scheme
* Samsung Magician did not recognize it as a Samsung SSD
So I would suggest to also install Samsung Magician from the Samsung website, and have it analyze the SSD. (In addition to running hdparm -I and smartctl --all as fzabkar already suggested)
I think for Samsung Magician it might be also better to use a native SATA interface, without USB.
Yes, I used USB-SATA adapter. When I use native SATA I get this:

There is the "COMRESET failed" you mentioned earlier.
So it hangs. Is it fixable?
It might have been unpowered for a longer time, I don't know but I could ask.
I really doubt this is a fake Samsung SSD. I have one of my own and it looks exactly the same.
I cant get any SMART attributes from the device. The terminal just freezes when I run the commands.
