The option for "SMART Data & Self Tests..." is not available (greyed out) in Gnome Disk Utility on 22.04. I have smartmontools installed and can read information about the disk, including test results and errors by running smartctl commands. I'm hoping to get this working in Gnome because I'd like to get notifications if errors start showing up.

The option was also greyed out in my case and when running the skdump command it showed that ATA SMART was not supported. I wasn't able to get Gnome Disks to work, but I could still read the SMART data through smartctl.
You can install the package with:
sudo apt install smartmontools
and then read the SMART details with:
sudo smartctl --all /dev/nvme1n1
Remember to replace /dev/nvme1n1 with the location of your drive
