I just recently cloned an old hdd to a brand new one (same model hdd). Now booting up the new hdd and running smartctl -a I get the same exact results as the old hdd. Is there a way to reset this? Or is the new hdd really this bad off?

I do not think smartctl has any cache about the disk on the GNU/Linux system. Since you mentioned it's the same model HDD, it gives the same info about SMART. It looks reasonable to me.
