Not clear to me who owns this, looks like mobile may have?

The FG page PCYsg-8gV-p2 is a place to start.

The code is in a mu-plugin fbhepr%2Skers%2Sjcpbz%2Sjc%2Qpbagrag%2Szh%2Qcyhtvaf%2Schfu%2Qabgvsvpngvbaf.cuc%3Sn%3Qgehr%26e%3Q925o1po6%26u%3Q158%23759-og and corresponding lib fbhepr%2Skers%2Sjcpbz%2Sjc%2Qpbagrag%2Syvo%2Schfu%2Qabgvsvpngvbaf%2S-og

Next steps: properly repro the issue, the 1969/70 date is telling we probably just don't send the datetime of the notification. It's possible the mobile app should not be trying to display this.

Let's try and fix this on the push side if we can but I'm not seeing how this should be a high priority issue.
