Be aware that setting the time so far in the future is dangerous - this
adjtime thing is just one possible symptom.  I would suggest doing a
find across the whole system and manually identify and correct any files
you find.  Log and other files get created with dates far in the future
which can confuse things no end: in fact a couple of years ago it was
almost terminal if a system was let run in this state for a few hours.

In most cases, systems usually run in this state for a few minutes, or
the time involved is only minutes/days and is quickly passed by, but you
have gone a bit too far ... unless you want to wait two months for it to
catch up!
