Leap years – the system doesn’t account for that in this time-date setup.

“System restarted by reload at Jan 29, 1997”
“reference time is Jan 27, 2017”
How can it be “over” 20 yrs?
Am I missing something?

Well, that stuff generally is separated from Internet, running in completely autonomy “outside the XXI century world” ™. So security concerns are pretty limited to how well the thing is physically locked. Even this thing talking IP for management tasks, probably these are, and should be running in a separated management network, completely isolated from Internet.
