Additional information
The bug also occurs for 6 or more digit numbers.
The link when you click the date is correct (i.e. to 11941-05-20)
Technically, the date input component is set to accept four digits as a maximum (max=9999-12-31). You can check this by calling out the console and select the element.
To me this is reasonable as most users expect to type no more than 4 digits for the year. Currently it will automatically jump to month input from the fifth, giving a similar streamlined experience typing in plain text dates.
If the restriction were cancelled, users will find them have to tab-navigate to month. If they forget to do this, an annoying fifth or even sixth (the default web date-input accepts no more than six) will mess up the date. Imagine I’m going to type 2024-05-05 but yield a 202405-05, umm.
However, yes, fictional dates should be taken into consider. Though I don’t have a clear design.
