sorted bySamsung 980 Pro has a nasty firmware glitch that could kill your SSD | TechSpot
edit: mine came with latest firmware already (edited)
If that's the firmware date however, from your link, it says the affected firmware version is 3B2QGXA7, and that 4B2QGXA7 was considered safe, as well as the latest one 5B2QGXA7.
There's a Reddit post on the PS5 forum that specifically mentions 4B2QGXA7 being dated 26th of Nov 2021
new 980 pro firmware 4B2QGXA7 11/26/21, might increase speeds to expectations : PS5 (reddit.com)
Now if we assume that the version numbers go up with every release, this would indicate the 3B2QGXA7 came before 4B2QGXA7, so yours being dated late last year is likely an even newer version.
This is just some internet sleuthing and logic, I'm fairly certain you should be past the affected versions, but if you wanted to be sure, you'd need to put the drive in a PC and run the Samsung Magician software.
Took 2 weeks from application to receipt. (edited)
This is so tempting. I've always liked Samsung SSDs, I have 830 pro, a couple of 840s, a couple of 850s in my current rig, as well as a Samsung 960 nvme drive.
Mainly back in the day they were one of the only SSD makers who made their own memory and the controller, and it wasn't the sandforce that was causing so much trouble at the time.
2 months ago I would have jumped on this without another thought, but the recent issues with the 990s and the 980s having that issue where they could get locked into read only mode. I know that's now been resolved with a firmware update, but it's sort of tarnished the image I had of them.
If there's a problem they email you and give you a chance to resolve it, which I had to do once.
They tend to process the claim quickly and take about another 3 or 4 weeks to make the payment.
NM - I've just worked out that I need the heatsink one, and spotted that the T&C from Samsung don't include the Heatsink version...
I did this with CCL Ebay, 990 Pro 1TB, £30 cash back plus 15% CS. Come to £87. Just sent Samsung the CCL Invoice and cashback was approved.

Can't seem to find samsung heat sinks for sale . . .

A lot of people tried to say it was a scam and they’ve tried to claim Cashback via this company before and failed.
Just got my payment notification through.
