Bizarre bug?
I'm guessting, this is a brand new machine on its first ever boot, with
no "last bootup time" information saved anywhere. So it assumes the last
bootup date was 1970-01-01 00:00:00, i.e. "zero time" on all Unix-like
systems. That would explain the 41 years, anyway.

No, it is a few months old now with lots of reboots. It is my experiment to
build a reliable PBX out of Seagate Dockstar hardware and USB sticks. I've now
blown up about three 4G sticks, presumably for heat issues (?), and have just
bought an "SLC" based stick (which was not easy to find) that supposedly has a
better heat range and longer write life.
Once I got it working I saved a dd image of the stick and have just been
imaging the new sticks as I try them. This *is* the first boot on this new
stick, but the filesystem itself is "old", with several reboots.
I don't really care about the uptime calculation, just thought it was funny.
It is strange that asterisk and the OS don't agree... so how does asterisk
compute it?
FWIW it makes a fantastic home PBX. I use it daily to make conference calls
that last for hours, and other extensions in the house make and receive calls
at the same time. It has *just* enough RAM to not swap, and I have turned off
all the logging, so there aren't that many writes to the USB stick. Pretty
fantastic for about $40 in hardware.
