without the full source code of the classes you are using I'd be guessing,
but within savePreview() and savePage() $content is passed to an object
method that does the saving. You could just pass date("d/m/Y H:i:s - ") .
$content instead of $content. However it looks like this may be amended from
previous versions ... if so you'll need to strip the first x characters from
the front ... but this is getting messy.
the better way to do this is with a last_updated field in the database
holding a timestamp and handle including it at the top of the text when
displaying. I'd be surprised if the table doesn't already have a field like
that.
