Comment (by christopherdarling):

 Noticed this today on 5.5.1 and surprised to see it backdates 5 years.
 This also occurs for me when leaving the Scheduled date as 'Immediately',
 any subsequent changes to the draft post show the original datetime of
 when the post was first saved. Incase it helps anyone, I've used the
 following filter to solve the issue for me.

 {{{#!php
 add_filter( 'post_date_column_time', function ($t_time, $post,
 $column_name, $mode) {
     # If the post type is Draft, use the last modified timestamp
     if ( $post->post_status === 'draft' ) {
         $t_time = sprintf(
             /* translators: 1: Post date, 2: Post time. */
             __( '%1$s at %2$s' ),
             /* translators: Post date format. See https://www.php.net/date
 */
             get_the_modified_time( __( 'Y/m/d' ), $post ),
             /* translators: Post time format. See https://www.php.net/date
 */
             get_the_modified_time( __( 'g:i a' ), $post )
         );
     }

     return $t_time;
 }, 10, 4 );
 }}}
