Bought a Seagate Exos 7e drive from an OEM reseller (no Seagate warranty). Are these SMART results valid for a drive that is supposed to be brand new?

Yes.
Look for the POH. Power_On_Hours (POH) is the length of time, usually in hours, that electrical power has been applied to a device. In your case "0".
Which does not mean this SMART attribute could not have been manipulated.

Smart manipulation, as in a total re-write is possible? I will google that. – Gaia Apr 06 '21 at 15:50
