No matter how many bits you throw at a computer it will never solve the
problem of only using double digits to represent a date. Doing that
will always run into problems eventually.
I believe you may be thinking of the UNIX time problem where time
represented using a signed 32bit number would run out some time in the
year 2038.

I read that it was fixed with 64 bit computing.

You need to specify the century part of the year as well, otherwise
touch assumes you mean the current century.
Double digit dates from this century will become the y2.1k problem

Try:
touch -t 196709131010 filename

How can I set the date on some old files from

When I use touch -t 6709131010 filename
for the date September 13, 1967, the date
shows up as September 13, 2067.
