Looks like you have a gmail account set up as a POP account.

The reason for the weird date is because the date header info was lost. You could have a corrupted file.

You should be able to redownload the gmail emails assuming your pop account is set up to leave messages on server. Try info at this link: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6089246?hl=en#zippy=%2Chow-does-normal-mode-work%2Cre-downloading-messages-and-excluding-existing-messages
