It's 5-CURRENT between 2003/12/19 and 2004/01/30. A clean 5.2-RELEASE, or 5.2 with only security patches applied, would have an osreldate in the range 502000 - 502099. Your system was either upgraded manually from sources, or installed from a snapshot (if any were made in that time span), and is probably subject to a number of known security vulnerabilities.
