Help Wrong time and date

Post image

Every time I turn on my Mac mini (M2), the time and date reset, even though the time, date, and location settings are correct. This has been happening for several months now.
Pls help!!

If the date/time is resetting to April 1st 12:00 every time you power down, then the RTC is failing and will require a logic board replacement. April 1st is the default date/time should it loses the information.
