from cached version of one of our pages:

"This is G o o g l e's cache of <snip> as retrieved on Dec 31, 1969 23:59:59 GMT."

Has anyone seen this bug before?

Yes - in one case, it meant the server time was off. You may want to start there and make sure the issue isn't on your side.

Is there anything specific about 1969?

My home servers seam to go there now and then.

Also in the car, rds was back at 1969 for a week or so after the clocks rolled back.

"Every computer system has to store dates as a number relative to a particular date. Since UNIX was invented around 1969/1970, the UNIX clock represents date/time instants as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970."
