My iPod Thinks It's 1969

I don't really understand how this can be an option.

My iPod's battery apparently died a few weeks ago so I had to bring it back. It starts up and think it's about to turn 1970. (I wish it could have gone two and a half months sooner if it wanted to go to 1969.)

While this is an older generation iPod Touch, I feel like it should have known it's more advanced than the iPods (or whatever app/Internet device they used back then) of 1969.
