I think the problem is with your client.

The time/date stamp looks fine. It might be
worth upgrading to the latest version to see
if it goes away.
Also, and I doubt if this is your problem but
it may be worth mentioning, when Mac firmware
loses the date (typically due to a dead battery)
it will revert to a default date on bootup.
I believe the date is like 8/26/52, but it might
be earlier. I heard somewhere that it's Steve
Jobs' birth date. That'd be about par for the
egomaniacal course.

PS - for Linux/X11 screenshots, if your window manager supports it, you
can use ksnapshot
