Actually, to take your first line as an example, the start time is "Jan 24". That question mark is from the tty field. It means that the process in question does not have a controlling terminal. A process without a controling terminal is a daemon.

If you really need to know when on Jan 24 this process started, there may be a way. But that would depend on which version of unix that you are using.
