This is a normalized value - don't try to cook on /dev/hdb ;-)
Your temperature decreased - this is definedly good.

A for the absolute temperature or how close you are to the
max temperature you need to query the drive.

Try
smartctl  -a  /dev/hdb 
and look at the RAW value for the temperature.
( Take a look at the manual page for a description of normalized ...)
