I've also seen projects on like 124.0.0 just because they don't care about semver and just release major versions every time.

The Naval Research Lab releases their radar processing algorithms package for geointelligence products by build number. We always got a kick out of a new delivery updating us from nrltools-3872 to nrltools-4923 or something.

It's also easy to get to 124 if you are a library with very few private functions -- in that case almost any change breaks ABI.

Still a better release numbering scheme than going by year and update.
