Seagate ST1000LM024 question

I have an external USB HD, reported by MX Linux as

Code:: ID-2: /dev/sdb type: USB vendor: Seagate model: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB size: 931.51 GiB block size: physical: 512 B logical: 512 B rotation: 5400 rpm serial: <filter> rev: 1.14 scheme: MBR

The trouble is GSmartControl in Linux does not recognize this drive, I'm assuming this drive must be SMART (it's about 5 years and used as backup drive), manufacturer Silicon Power (can't find the model, on the case shows only 1TB).
Tried also with

Code:: smartctl

command and here's the output:

Code:: $ sudo smartctl -t short -s on -T permissive -T permissive -T permissive /dev/sdb smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-4.19.0-16-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-20, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org Read Device Identity failed: scsi error unsupported scsi opcode SMART support is: Ambiguous - ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 82-83 don't show if SMART supported. SMART support is: Ambiguous - ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 85-87 don't show if SMART is enabled. Checking to be sure by trying SMART RETURN STATUS command. SMART support is: Unknown - Try option -s with argument 'on' to enable it.=== START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION === SMART Enable failed: scsi error unsupported scsi opcode A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

My questions:
1) Is there a DB where shows if a drive is SMART or not?
2) If this drive is not SMART, is there any tool in Linux to check it's integrity/failure?
3) If this drive is SMART, what I can do to make GSmartControl sees it?

Thanks for your comment/suggestion
