m86k MicroPython version

Reporter did not specify

Reproduction

1. Open the repl
2. import time; time.time()
3. time.localtime()

Expected behaviour

time.time should show micropython epoch time (epoch date = 2000). time.localtime should show the current date and time.

Observed behaviour

time.time reported a negative number

Additional Information

I test on umac which doesn't seem to implement the RTC anyway.

Code of Conduct

Yes, I agree

this is currently working in infinite mac. umac reports a date in 2040 but it doesn't have rtc support.
