You have backups of the data and are just hosting replaceable media on it, a quick zero fill should suffice and if no issues pop up scanning after zero filling may not be worth the extra time.
If you don't care about the extra time, it's worth doing a read test after the zero fill and checking SMART again to see how values (if any) changed as a result.
