this may be the problem as TYPO3 stores dates as unixtime which as 
signed long integer has a range from ?.?.1903 to ?.?.2038
there are big discussions about date formats outside this range.

hm. can't say anything to this. I used my german date as title.
I used it as a picture index and the time the picture was taken as 
timestamp and title.
but on the long time the pictures were not manageble with the extension: 
too much work, too much complexity in the display, too less variability 
in displaying enlarged pictures

as this is just an TYPO3-interface for an external JS-library: you may 
create your own extension for records to provide your data for the 
JS-library you may include by yourself. This way you can control 
everything you are interested in (and where the JS-lib provides a 
configuration)
