Thanks Olivier, that was pointed out as a problem to fix in the design
document at the time we landed the feature and already reported as bug
#1979098

the date comes from the pro client, quoting what Renan wrote there

> This is expected if you are using a free UA subscription. Those should not expire at all, and year 9999 just implies that.
> 
> `ua status --format=json` is returning `expires` as the expiry date for the contract, and I think the
> problem here is that while the contract does not expire, there are the LTS + ESM support dates, which 
> should be taken into consideration on the UI.

Title:
  Ubuntu Pro attached machine displays ESM support until 31/12/99

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Software and Update app incorrectly shows ESM support continuing
  until 31/12/99 when the machine is Pro attached. The date for basic
  support displays correctly when Pro is not enabled.

  Worth noting that this page does not refresh when a Pro token is
  detached and needs a relaunch to display the correct support status.
