2019 16 inch MBP running big sur. 11.6

This morning I noticed my Messages app was out of whack. The date on the application is out of whack, the code signing is valid from apple and the version number is (I think?) correct for this version of OS.

Attaching screenshots below.

Malwarebytes came up clear on multiple scans.

What should I do? This machine is the only one running Big Sur in my house.

Isn't the system partition protected by crypto?

Nothing wrong. Everything that is under Apple's read-only volume is timestamped Jan 1, 2020.

Why they did that, no idea.

Code:
% ls -l /System
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   39 root  wheel  1248 Jan  1  2020 Applications
drwxr-xr-x    2 root  wheel    64 Jan  1  2020 Developer
drwxr-xr-x    5 root  wheel   160 Jan  1  2020 DriverKit
drwxr-xr-x  134 root  wheel  4288 Jan  1  2020 Library

Great to hear. Thanks for calming my fears that my system was compromised.
