Well, talk to the people who run that site. Transactions do not have times associated with them, so they are simply guessing in some way. Obviously there is an error in the algorithm, the implementation of it, or the data made available to it, but what that error is we have no way of knowing.

I'm still interested on why this happened. This transaction is old, and when I first checked it on blockchain.info, it showed the correct date then.

Transactions don't have times. Ignore blockchain.info.

I was looking at some transactions in my address, and found this:
https://blockchain.info/es/tx/cf77c2b888916c0debfb801d3d129ba5b7f6445e0dd6db9238b313b51369024c

Just look at the date of the transaction: 2063-08-04 05:00:33

Why is it in the future? Is this some sort of Y2K-like bug? Is it just in blockchain.info?

As far as I remember, I already have that money (but it was from those “free BTC” sites, so I wouldn't mind if it was invalid).
