Folder date is wrong on old CD

I have searched for a program on a CD written in 2003 with TC. While browsing I have found that the current directory's date is different from the date seen in the parent directory.

Under the parent the subdirectory's date was 2013.12.05 23:50, after I have entered the dir, the .. item's date was 2559.12.00 00:00.

I have uploaded the screenshots*, SkyDrive distorts the images, both contains meaningful picture.

You can post a "malformed" url (e.g. put some spaces in there).

Does Explorer show another date?

The directory and the updir entry do not necessarily have the same timestamp. While Windows does seem to set it that way, others don't necessarily do it. For example, I have an USB stick with some Android backups. Here the Backup folder has 21.11.2012, but the [..] entry shows 19.11.2012.
