We know this because when Dr. Milo and his team succeed in turning the ANSA spaceship Liberty 1 back on, its clock panel displays "November 25 3978" then blinks to "January 25 3979" with "a flash" before exploding. This implies the last time the clock was active was in 3978 AD [presumably during the early scene of the first feature film "Planet of the Apes" (1968)] and the clock immediately adjusts to the current date in January of 3979 AD.
