It seems your matrix was defined with entries in Sage's symbolic ring.

Elements in the symbolic ring are symbolic expressions, which don't get automatically simplified.

One way to make the matrix more readable would be to think of it as a matrix whose entries are rational functions in E with coefficients in the real algebraic numbers.

Try this:

sage: Hf.change_ring(AA['E'].fraction_field())

If that does not work, then maybe rational functions in the (floating-point) "reals".

sage: Hf.change_ring(RR['E'].fraction_field())

Maybe the matrix was the following?

in which case rational functions over RR give:

sage: Hf.change_ring(RR['E'].fraction_field())
[                        6.16558207374834e-6/E (1000.00000000000*E - 0.000156202516960468)/E                        0.000294594522326585/E]
[                       0.000127914742222187/E                       -0.000277894374679915/E                        0.000309720283903677/E]

and rational functions over RDF give:

sage: Hf.change_ring(RDF['E'].fraction_field())
[              6.165582073748336e-06/E (1000.0*E - 0.00015620251696046755)/E               0.0002945945223265847/E]
[             0.00012791474222218708/E              -0.0002778943746799149/E              0.00030972028390367713/E]
[              0.0001389091044696876/E             -0.00028894603935640675/E              0.00029459452232658467/E]


Using a version of floating-point numbers with less bits (only 20 instead of the usual 53):

sage: Hf.change_ring(RealField(20)['E'].fraction_field())
[              6.1656e-6/E (1000.0*E - 0.00015620)/E              0.00029459/E]
[             0.00012791/E             -0.00027790/E              0.00030972/E]
[             0.00013891/E             -0.00028895/E              0.00029459/E]


Going down to 12 bits gives roughly three decimal digits as required in the question:

sage: Hf.change_ring(RealField(12)['E'].fraction_field())
[             6.17e-6/E (1000.*E - 0.000156)/E             0.000295/E]
[            0.000128/E            -0.000278/E             0.000310/E]
[            0.000139/E            -0.000289/E             0.000295/E]
