According to the Gnome HIG:

I see this as an Information Alert, and it was not produced by a user
action, therefore there should not be a Cancel button since there is no
action to cancel.

#alerts-information

I also feel that instead of directing the user to "click the icon to get
more information" that this Alert should have a "Details..." button to
the left of the affirmation button that opens the Disk Utility. I don't
feel that a user would automatically know that the new gnome-panel
notification icon corresponds to this Alert, so they may not know which
"icon" to click.

Since this is a new feature, and it is likely to inform a good number of
users that their HDD is failing, immediately after upgrading their
Ubuntu distribution ,then it should present the information as clearly
as possible.
