When you just launch Pages by itself without attempting to open any document, or you are attempting to open a document that you recently received from someone? Which case?

Opened the pages document on my iPad and saved it as a word document and put it in the cloud. It now opens as a word document in pages on my MacBook Pro.
all set now. Do not know why date on file is wrong clock and date on MacBook Pro is correct?
Open a document that I created on December 31, 1969
Pages version 8.1
using 10.13.6 High Sierria
My early 2011 MacBook Pro is in great condition, fast no problems other than it appears that Apple is making it obsolete.
I use the file that I am trying to open because that is the password protected file with all my passwords.
What can I do to fix it maybe open in iPad and save as word and get rid of pages.
Is your MacBook Pro still keeping current time per the menu bar when it is on battery? That is a very suspicious file creation date, though manually changing the creation date on an empty Pages v10.1 document here to December 31, 1969 at 00:01 did not prevent Pages from opening it — even with a bogus creation date.
Take that Pages document to another Mac with Pages v5.6 or later on it, and see if opens there. If it doesn't, you have a damaged Pages document, and there will be no resurrection of it.
Your 2011 MacBook Pro would still be the rage if Apple never produced another Mac afterward, or stopped releasing newer versions of macOS. Time f-bombs us all, and as Apple intends to remain in business, they are not deliberately causing your Mac to be 9 years old and hardware-wise, incapable of running current operating systems.
Good that you got this solved.
Thanks for the help.
You are welcome.
