No, smart short and long tests are safe, most people run them daily and weekly without ever unmounting for long periods of time.

Justin,
Should I unmount the drive before doing the tests?
Thanks,

Justin, here is the output from smartctl -a /dev/hda
smartctl version 5.36 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 BruceHome page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
Your disk looks OK to me, I have seen Device Status Error in the past as
well but never suffered any ill effects.
Some other things to try:
smartctl -t short /dev/hda # wait 5min
smartclt -l selftest /dev/hda
smartctl -t long /dev/hda # wait 6-120 min
smartclt -l selftest /dev/hda
and/then show smartctl -a output again
if all the tests pass, your disk should be OK
