Odd Date/Time shown on Blackberry 9900 when powered up

I received a GSM Blackberry 9900 yesterday. I know that it was looked at by the submitter before it came in, and would have been on the cell network prior to submission. Before powering the phone up completely, I performed a Physical Extraction while it sat inside a Faraday Box so it never hit the network in my possession. After the physical extraction completed, and while inside the Faraday Box, it booted up showing the date/time to be roughly 36 hours ahead minus 20 minutes or so. I put it into Airplane Mode then poked around at the Date/Time settings thinking perhaps it was set to have it's date and time manually set by the user. The settings were set to the standard Automatic settings. It was also showing in the proper time zone. I have never seen this before. Usually the date/time will be current, or if the battery was pulled earlier, the time would be roughly when the battery was removed. I can't think of a proper explanation as to why the date/time would be in the future. Has anyone come across a similar scenario with this model of BB, or any other Blackberries for that matter?
