Loving the thread title.

Yes, a belt sounds likely; one assumes (hopes) the smoke is just from melting rubber. Overheating would happen fairly quickly.

Maybe a pulley or alternator/water pump seized?

If that's the original serpentine belt, you need a new one regardless of mileage because rubber deteriorates over time and yours is over 10 years old.
