What people fail to see is that this is the largest date the API can store, not a magical cutoff date in the distant future.
You could create a date today and send it to the API, and it could potentially crash it, or create a buffer overrun.
The definition of the Date object explicitly states that any attempt to set the internal timestamp to a value outside of the maximum range must result in it being set to "NaN". If there's an implementation out there that doesn't do that, then the issue is with that implementation, not the standard.
