Alas that is a "feature" of the specification:
String number of the BIOS release date. The date string, if supplied,
is in either mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy format. If the year portion of the
string is two digits, the year is assumed to be 19yy.
NOTE: The mm/dd/yyyy format is required for SMBIOS version 2.3 and
later.
(SMBIOS Specification version 3.4.0c)
It might be worth putting a comment in so people don't accidentally
change it to the wrong thing in future though, given it's currently
ambiguous otherwise.
