Are there any know limitations on the date field, especially how old dates can be?

Almost every PHP date/time function is dealing with the UNIX epoch timestamp, which starts from 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. So I strongly encourage you not to use dates before 01.01.1970 to avoid incompatibilities with the most of PHP code used by third party plugins.
