There must be a reason why it's there, right?

It doesn't show up when I press F1 and it doesn't go away either.
Edit: It shows up yes, but it doesn't go away with F1.

If you press F8 (which leads you to the options) you notice that it is the same thing which is called CTime.
Now, I may be wrong here, but I believe that CTime is their way of handing dates and times. I guess if you was in the US and you was connecting to a UK server, it's that which is taken into account rather than your timing.
It seems like it's a server sided time and they may use that to manipulate time and dates to activate events of such. I'm not aware, nor understand the format they use though.

However, using inspect element on the main page as well, you can also find ctime there as well.



And here's a definition.

 Spoiler

The ctime() function converts the time value pointed to by time to local time in the form of a character string. A time value is usually obtained by a call to the time() function.

The string result that is produced by ctime() contains exactly 26 characters and has the format:

"%.3s %.3s%3d %.2d:%.2d:%.2d %d\n"
For example:

Mon Jul 16 02:03:55 1987\n\0
The ctime() function uses a 24-hour clock format. The days are abbreviated to: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, and Sat. The months are abbreviated to: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, and Dec. All fields have a constant width. Dates with only one digit are preceded with a zero. The new-line character (\n) and the null character (\0) occupy the last two positions of the string.

TL;DR Seems like it's a thing called CTime which is used to make a time server sided. Unaware of their format.

That's my guess, I could be wrong though.
