Is there anyway to determine the date and time when a web page was last
modified?

On SM, I went to View --> Page Info
Under the "General" tab, it has a "modified" field, but this just gives
the current date and time, for when the web page was opened.  I thought
this may be because the page was retrieved from the "cache", so I went
to a profile where the web page hadn't yet been loaded, but when I
loaded the page, it also just gave me the date and time it was loaded.

Is it even possible to determine the modification date and time for a
web page, on the receiving end?

For static pages, page info often will report a correct modified timestamp, as on my own site. Timestamps on pages saved with curl or wget with preserve timestamp option enabled also will match the site downloaded from if the site provides it.
