  • This looks like a homework question. But have a look at a Unix TimeStamp site and you get the result 06/11/2128 @ 8:53am (UTC).

Unix timestamps starts at "January 1, 1970" so we only need to get the date of '5000000000' in timestamp:

$ date -d '@5000000000' +%Y
2128

UNIX Epoch time, is a system for describing a point in time. It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970.
