Yes! And I thought I was the only one.
The system in question is a "Digital AlphaPC 164LX 533 MHz, 531MHz"
according to dmesg. But I see the date go weird only when the system
is powered off - I can reboot all day and it'll keep time just fine,
but turn it off and it'll timewarp to 2019.
Fortunately the machine is on a UPS, with approximately 100% uptime, so
this is not much of an issue in practice for us.
