It is really "31/Dec/1969 20:00:00 -0400" which is 01/Jan/1970 00:00:00
GMT. In other words the time on the system warped back to 0 seconds from
the UNIX epoch.

Perhaps your TOD clock battery is dying. Check the hardware, system
memory, and apply any Solaris clock/time related patches.

refuses to run when warped back to 1970. It would be far worse to keep
running!
