Calendar told me that Unix billennium was today, but Wikipedia and
date(1) command say something different.

Possibly, or more likely the entry in ~/.calendar is incorrect.

Not really. It's just meant to mark the anniversary, not saying "today
is the day" of the Unix billenium. Look through
/usr/share/calendar/calendar.computer, lots of entries like that, just
marking the anniversary of some historical significance, not the exact
date.
