Everyone will assume user error at this point.
/dev/md0 is not supposed to have a mdadm superblock to examine.
It has a filesystem or LUKS or LVM header or whatever it is you do.

For --examine you have to provide one or more member devices.

You can do mdadm --detail /dev/md* or mdadm --examine /dev/sd*.

Oh look. There it is. Your superblock...

Other than that I see no problems. Your Load Cycle Counts are high 
and for WD there are tools to finetune that behaviour but it's 
unclear whether that's actually a real problem.

Consider running smart tests more regularly.
