The highest I've seen is:

From: Ulf Zimmermann <ulf@Alameda.net>
DNS root /root # uptime
2:11AM up 1128 days, 15:15, 2 users, load averages: 0.07, 0.02, 0.01
DNS root /root # uname -a
FreeBSD DNS.Lamb.net 2.2.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Aug 7 12:17:56 PDT 1997 root@DNS.Lamb.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/DNS i386
That means the system must have been booted round 15 October 1998.
The message was only 2 weeks ago. Ulf, is it still up?
