There is my hack to resolve issue wtih syntax error near line 6 <<<

Cmnd_Alias SMARTCTL = /usr/sbin/smartctl
Cmnd_Alias SMARTCTL_DISCOVERY = /etc/zabbix/scripts/smartctl-disks-discovery.pl
zabbix ALL= (ALL) NOPASSWD: SMARTCTL, SMARTCTL_DISCOVERY
Defaults!SMARTCTL !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session
Defaults!SMARTCTL_DISCOVERY !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session

Add colons after word Defaults and before !SMARTCTL for two last lines

#!/bin/bash

Cmnd_Alias SMARTCTL = /usr/sbin/smartctl
Cmnd_Alias SMARTCTL_DISCOVERY = /etc/zabbix/scripts/smartctl-disks-discovery.pl
zabbix ALL= (ALL) NOPASSWD: SMARTCTL, SMARTCTL_DISCOVERY
Defaults:!SMARTCTL !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session
Defaults:!SMARTCTL_DISCOVERY !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session
