I have about 24 messages that always show as being received in the last minute.

IMAP

On my Roundcube Webmail and in my iPhone mail, the messages have the correct date/time (some years ago) Yet in TB Mac, those 24 messages show being received minutes ago.

I have the sent date and received date showing, they are the same. I checked the headers, they are correct.

Tried clearing the TB cache. Repairing the folder, no luck.

Any clue

do those messages have a "date" header? Thunderbird used the send date and time from the Date: header. If it is missing or corrupt, a not uncommon thing when mail is send from scripts on the web, then you get odd information displayed.
