I can reproduce the same issue on Windows with the WSL 2 backend, so this appears to be cross-platform rather than macOS-specific.

Environment

• Windows 11 Home, build 26200
• Docker Desktop 4.88.1 (237512)
• Docker Engine 29.7.2
• API version 1.55
• WSL 2 kernel 6.18.33.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Docker Desktop → Volumes.
2. Select a named volume.
3. Open the Stored data tab.
4. Observe that Last modified for the files and directories is shown as 57 years ago.

The underlying filesystem timestamps are correct. For example, a directory inside the mounted volume reports:

$ stat -c '%Y %y %n' <volume-mount>/objects
1788248068 2026-09-01 07:34:28.044323132 +0000 <volume-mount>/objects

Interpreting 1788248068 as Unix seconds gives 2026-09-01T07:34:28Z. Interpreting the same value as Unix milliseconds gives 1970-01-21T16:44:08.068Z, which matches the approximate 57 years ago shown in the UI. This suggests the Volumes UI may be treating a seconds value as milliseconds.

The volume-level Created value is displayed correctly; only the per-file/per-directory Last modified column is affected.
