My memory is not good enough to remember what was going on in 1978 but I'm guessing he spent some time on the disabled list. You'd think there'd be some reference on the web that would give me that information but I couldn't find anything.
He did win his 3rd Gold Glove in a row for his work at third base so it wasn't a totally off season.

Unfortunately, the Phillies ran into the Dodgers again in the playoffs and lost to them 3 games to 1, just like in 1977. Schmidt did not have a good series, going only 3 for 15 with 2 doubles. But then again, hardly anyone on the team hit well in the series.
I don't remember where I got this 1978 Topps card. It's in pretty good physical shape but it's centered very badly both on the front and back.
Somehow I ended up with 2 of that card when I was younger. Not sure if I still have them both now.
