I have to say that's one of the most amusing bugs I've seen here
Thanks for flagging it, Wes. We located the job from your screenshot so I'll go ahead and report it to the team.

It means there is a timestamp somewhere that is set to 0 or null.
You see 50 years ago was 1970 and that's when Unix came into being.
Unix timestamps count the number of seconds since the start of Jan 1, 1970.
If you've ever seen a date mistakenly shown as Dec 31, 1969, it's the same problem,
a timestamp field has not been updated correctly.
I know, more information than most want, but I couldn't help myself.

Hi all,
I'd like to thank you for your reports! Our team implemented a fix that should resolve the incorrect timeline showing on a few jobs, that have been affected by the core issue. Please let us know if you come across a job showing the 50-year timeline.

Hi Scott,
I've moved your post to the thread discussing this issue.

Hey Vlad - I posted the message just after seeing it yesterday. However, today it no longer shows that but rather a much more reasonable 9 hours.

I received a job invitation yesterday. In the job activity, I found this job was 'last viewed by client--50 years ago'. 50 years ago a lot of things were not existent.
I have attached a screenshot here. I think this is a system bug and Upwork is working hard to keep the platform bug free.

Hi All,
I just wanted to circle back and let you know that a fix for this bug has been released. There shouldn't be any more jobs that were viewed by clients 50 years ago but if you do come across one, please let us know and we'll check.
