00:39:38

So in your case:

SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(test_duration) as `Time` FORM YOUR_TABLE;

The max value that you can get from the function SEC_TO_TIME is 838:59:59

CONCAT(
    Floor((SUM(DAY) / (60*60))), ":", 
    Floor(MOD(SUM(DAY), (60*60)) / 60), ":", 
    Floor(MOD(SUM(DAY), (60)))
) AS Time

FROM (SELECT 5328089 as DAY) a
