I looked for this (and/or /related) sort of thing a few years ago, and
didn't find anything (reasonable) at that time.
I don't think there's any specific way to do that which would be truly
realistic, short of expensive fault-injection (disk-emulation) hardware.
It appears that Bruce Allen (developer of smartmontools) doesn't
have/use software to simulate smart errors either:

I wonder if any virtual machines such as VMWare have the ability to
simulate smart errors.
