I confirmed your findings. What I found was that on AMD systems going back even to Llano, you can’t change a date in the 20th century. However I had no issues changing date from 2018 to 2015. Though the bug is present, the fact it only happens with date from the last century would suggest it is a minor issue. Would you agree?

Thus it failed the hwclock test, which expect the output of 1980 This only happen on lodygin, other testing nodes (hainzel, rumford, rizzo, fozzie) are good. This issue has been tested on Xenial and Zesty, they will all behave in the same way.
