Strange, are you sure that is the correct disk? It looks like that is an ntfs partition, not fat, which is what parted was complaining about. I did notice that it says that disk uses 4k sectors. I thought that dd was supposed to default to the sector size of the drive so it should have given 4k, but only gave 512 bytes. Can you get the full sector by running sudo dd if=/dev/sde1 count=1 bs=4096 2>/dev/null | xxd?

Come to think of it, parted only even detects filesystems on 512 byte sector disks. It must have been another disk.
