Comment (by Rarst):

 While there is no official name for it you had discovered what I call
 "WordPress timestamp". It is indeed consists of sum of Unix timestamp with
 timezone offset and is grossly incompatible with Unix time.

 Multiple WordPress functions ''expect'' WordPress timestamp and produce
 invalid results if passed Unix timestamp, most prominently `date_i18n()`,
 see #38771

 This behavior is essentially set in stone, short of completely rewriting
 entirety of Date/Time component in core.
