Odd. My System 7.1 Pro doesn't have any issues.

I agree, I'm on 6.0.7 and my SE has no problem with 2020.

That depends on, if your Mac came into 2020 by himself. If you would lose pvram battery supply now and had to reset the clock, you are thrown back to the 20th century. Even if you simulate new year‘s eve 2019, let the Mac enter 2020 by himself and then try to switch to the now it will not work. So the setdate tool is a must have for all of us now.
