01/JAN/1998 is the default date for most Award PC BIOSes. Given that your
message's headers contain "X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora", I'd hazard a
guess that you're using a PC.
I reckon your PC's CMOS battery is on the way out. I'd also hazard a guess
that it's a CR2032 lithium coin cell. Probe it with a voltmeter, if the
voltage is lower than 2.5V, replace it.

Later.
