This is operating system dependent. It depends on what kind of integer
the OS
uses to represent time. I believe if it is an unsigned integer, the
minimum
date is Jan 1, 1970. If it is a signed integer, it goes back to 1901
or so.
Max date in both cases is somewhere 2038. This will all go away only
with 64 bit
systems.
Why do you need such a date? Most likely a birthday? You can use the
Emacs
diary to set such birthdays - the calendar/diary can handle this.
