No, I don't believe reinstalling the O/S is likely to fix it.

Obvious thoughts are:-

1. BIOS code fault, is there a manufacturer's BIOS update available.
2. Something wrong with BIOS battery, perhaps about to fail.
3. It's getting system time from a stuck time server (does it still happen if you unplug network cable?)
As you say, very strange.

C-BIOS(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						 C-BIOS(7)

NAME

       C-BIOS - provides open source BIOS ROM files for MSX computers

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the C-BIOS rom files.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       C-BIOS is an open source BIOS for MSX computers. C-BIOS can be shipped with MSX emulators so they are usable out-of-the-box.

       Details	about the BIOS calls available in the ROM files can be found at http://map.tni.nl/ but keep in mind the C-BIOS is work in progress
       and does not support all BIOS calls yet.

       C-BIOS comes in three versions currently. C-BIOS_MSX1 is compatible with MSX1 machines, C-BIOS_MSX2 is compatible with MSX2 machines and C-
       BIOS_MSX2+ is compatible with MSX2+ machines.

       Each version comes in three localisation variants, an international, Japanse (JP) and Brazilian (BR) one.
