The problem is that this shapefile uses units which are in meters, and

Two solutions:

a) Use a PROJECTION block like this, to tell MapServer to reproject the data on the fly:

PROJECTION
   "init=EPSG:123456"
END

b) Reproject the data into DD using ogr2ogr:

ogr2ogr -t_srs EPSG:4326 -s_srs EPSG:123456 dd.shp utm.shp


Note that reprojection on the fly isn't a fast operation, so if your data is large or there's no need for it to be in meters (say, distance measurements between coordinates) you may prefer Option B.
