Standardized date and/or place
The original date was “1 Apr 1875” but FS somehow had discombobulated this into “1 April 0187” and suggested they were over “120” years old.0 -
That often happens if we type too quickly.

This is a great illustration of the Merge warning flags doing a wonderful job. Dates and places on the display tab which have an incorrect standard linked to them can be very hard to identify. This flag makes it obvious there is a problem. You just have to remember that all dates and places have two entries, the displayed portion and the linked standard portion and that if a discrepancy is flagged, it will be because of the standard, not the displayed value it is linked to.
One place on the display tab you can see the standard rather than the display value is in the header as seen in the information from the headers you copied and posted and as pointed out by others:

@Carole Haines Stanford Thanks for the feedback!
The other comments are correct. The user-entered date looks correct, but if you hover over the value in the merge screen, the standardized value is incorrect and should be fixed on the person page.
We display the user-entered date instead of the standard because sometimes there is valuable information that doesn't map to a standard.
Thanks!1
