What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Two customers independently got worried that the guest BIOS appeared to be very out of date. They ran dmidecode and saw something like this (I'm using Fedora as a host for my test, but the same thing happens on RHEL host):

BIOS Information
	Vendor: SeaBIOS
	Version: 1.17.0-4.fc43
	Release Date: 04/01/2014

What is the impact of this issue to you?

In one case Microsoft rejected a bug report from us and told the customer they had to "update the BIOS".

In the second case, we had asked the customer to update their hardware BIOS, and they got confused by the date on the guest BIOS, and it all took a bit of explaining to sort out.

Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

All versions of seabios-bin since forever.
