It is always important to have backups of all your data. Computers can break. Data can be lost. You should ALWAYS backup your data.

I keep getting steam cloud sync errors that tell my my latest saves are from different days in December... 1969 NINTEEN SIXTY NINE.

That sounds very close to some kind of system zero date... Yeah, the usual beginning of time for computers is Jan. 1, 1970.

much of computer time is done as seconds since 1/1/70 and if someone really messed up you could get 1969 out. If its just your save, though, and not happening frequently I would call it data corruption instead.
