On a warm reboot the time won't get reset back to 1970. You indicated above that deploying new code also fixed the problem -- which also won't reset the time back to 1970.

As a workaround, if you hit the 'reset robot code' button on the driver station, that would be equivalent to a redeploy, but much faster than a warm reboot.

Better to find a solution that doesn't use the Timer object, or look at its source code and see if you can override it and provide a different non-datetime dependent time source to it.
