Comment:

 I suspect this is google picking up the first `<time>` element on the
 page.

 The sitemap is correct:

 https://developer.wordpress.org/sitemap-2.xml

 > 1227
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_modified_date/
 2023-11-08T01:35:16Z


 And the only place the 2014 date shows is:
 {{{
 $ curl -is
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_modified_date/
 | grep 2014
 <div class="wp-block-post-date"><time
 datetime="2014-04-25T06:04:56+00:00">April 25, 2014</time></div>
 }}}

 If it's indeed using the `<time>` element, maybe we need to add a `rel`
 attribute or something to it, such that it picks up the right one.
 {{{
 $ curl -is
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_modified_date/
 | grep '<time'
 <div class="wp-block-post-date"><time
 datetime="2014-04-25T06:04:56+00:00">April 25, 2014</time></div>
 <div class="wp-block-post-date__modified-date wp-block-post-date"><time
 datetime="2023-11-08T01:35:16+00:00">November 8, 2023</time></div>
 }}}
