Is there any way of extracting vibration information from using a linux utility like smart if the device supports it ?

Some devices has this information available.

For example this is listed on the SMART wikipedia's page:

186      BA      Induced Op-Vibration Detection           Western Digital attribute.
191      BF      G-sense error rate      Lower The count of errors resulting from externally-induced shock & vibration.
