Description

Windows applications may ask to set file dates earlier than 1970, and that currently causes the smb "set attributes" code to bubble up an error.
It should instead "do the best it can", by storing the oldest date is knows how to represent.
That's not perfect, but it's better than returning an error.
Applications appear to tolerate this.
