Regarding the circuit board, I find it intellectually satisfying to see that he placed the date that he made the clock onto it (8/8/1970). How many times have you opened something up and asked, "I wonder when this was made?"

Many chips will have the manufacturing date on the package in the format YYWW: two digit year and week within the year.
