I am not clear: are you saying that there is a date of 07-Dec-1941 in the original file? If so then there is no problem, datestr() is just responding correctly for the data.
If there was no 07-Dec-1941 in the original file, then we will need to know how you converted the dates.

Yes the datestr is working correctly. I were thinking there is somthing error, because it is supposed that earliest time in this dataset in 2005. Now, I'm sure there is error in published data.
Thanks

The answer 07-Dec-1941 is not only reasonable, but also correct. It is 24048 days before the 10-Oct-2007, as the serial date format implies.
