Is that number the date? And why is my date not saving in camera?

The date of that clip is month January, day 1, 12 hours and 13 minutes.
When you go to the camera menu settings SETUP / page 1, you update the date and time. The camera will retain the date as long as power is provided to the camera via battery or mains. When power is no longer provided, the date is maintained via a capacitor on the circuit board. But it won’t keep providing trickle power to the date and time indefinitely. If you want to ensure all settings are retained over a longer period of time, you need to provide mains power where you store the camera. I keep my URSA Mini 4.6K powered up (with the monitor door closed the draw of electricity is low). Even so before any shoot, quickly verify all settings are current and correct as the cameras don’t keep flawless time for long which is why jamming to a Timecode generator such as a Tentacle Sync is recommended during a long shoot.
