MacBook white (late 2009) no SMC update?

Yesterday Apple releases SMC updates for MacBooks (MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.5) but MacBook late 2009 still isn't covered by this update.

My Mac turns off it self with no reason no metter what you are doing and even if battery is fully charged. It is happenig few months from now and I must use charger every time i use Mac. Also this happens when i wake it up from sleep if it is on battery power.

Does anybody knows will Apple release this MacBook SMC update anythime soon?

Will the new battery resolve this issue?

Current battery is charged 750 cycles.

MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), white (late 2009)

I am also having this same issue, approx 750 charge cycles, and within the past 2 weeks if I disconnect the AC adapter, I will get a complete power off without warning, I have the service battery notification as well, I have tried resetting the SMC, and am curious as to why the latest update is not available for this model. Considering replacing the battery, but would rather not since it should still have a good bit of life left considering it's rated for 1000 cycles. Maybe we can get an answer.
