The forum software runs on a UNIX, which has 1-1-1970 as default timestamp or something like that. The original post was manually deleted or erased by
the system and the date reverted to that weird timestamp. I've seen a few posts that are listed by name and are nowhere to be seen.
Edit: It is called UNIX epoch.

What's happening underneath is that a data structure that used to have the information used to create a timestamp by adding seconds to the
aforementioned UNIX epoch either doesn't exist any more and whose absence is interpreted as 0, or (much less likely) has been set to 0 and not
actually erased.
There's a problem coming up in 2038, when early versions of the aforementioned data structure will overflow, but that's not what's happening here.
