I periodically get access errors for a specific spinning disk that I have

Changed Sata Cable
Switched Sata bus on MB
Run E2fsck on the 3 formatted ext4 partitions w/ no errors found
Run smartctl -a: all results within norms
Run smartctl -t short: No errors found
Disk operation age is about 7.5 years with around a couple hundred starts.
It has been in continuous operation for over 8 years except during
vacations. On occasion the disk partitions will become unmounted and a mount
-a will remount the partitions as a different device from lets say sda to
sdd. I've not lost any data and I do regular backups to another device
that's rotated out of system.
I seem to have always had these errors present on this MB that is maybe 4 or
5 years in operation. Any thoughts on the cause of this issue? Do others see
this behavior on occasion on systems they manage?
On this same system my Rocky OS on an SSD is showing no issues at all. Same
operation age as the spinner.
I'm glad you've got good backups. It's going to die at an
inconvenient time for you. That's not specific; that's just what
computers do.
Next time the errors occur, dig them out of the log and show
them to us verbatim, please.

Here is the device mount:

Dec 17 06:40:28 bagend kernel: ata6.00: ATA-8:

Then errors which continue for ten more lines or so in the log:

Rich,
I wondered about disk sleep cycle but these errors are
almost immediate during boot up.
I've had disks die on me w/o warning before most likely disk
controller failure rather than the disk itself.
