Maybe it's because Jan 1, 1970 (the Epoch) was 27 years ago? I
haven't looked at the source, but it would make sense to me that
a timestamp that is not present for the object in question (being
implemented as 0 or -1 or something like that) shows up as the
equivalend of Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC or Dec 31, 1969 23:59:59
UTC.

It would make even more sense to explicitely show those
timestamps as not being applicable, if that indeed is what is
happening.
