used my MacBook Air after a month of traveling. The date is set to 7th February 2023 and the time is wrong as well. I have updated to most recent iOS and restarted several times. Set time and date automatically is on, location is on. But is doesn’t update to current date and time.
MacBook Air 13″

"date and time: used my MacBook Air after a month of traveling. I didn’t take my laptop with me. I forgot to even shutdown the laptop and it was off after battery drained when I got back. No settings were changed."

Troubleshooting Incorrect Date and Time:
What comes to mind...
A. Start Here: If you can't Change the Time or Time Xone on your Apple device - Apple Support
B. Re-enable these Settings:
Deleted all blue buttons, and then reselect them.
C. New iCloud Session:
Log out of iCloud, and then log back in.
D. Boot in Safe Mode:
I would assume booting in Safe Mode, using the keys may may work (because in Safe Mode, items only load as they would be default). So, boot into Safe Mode, go here: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support. Once in Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, reboot, and see what occurs. If you have one, use and external keyboard for this.

Thank you for the screenshot.
Correcting the Date and Time After Travel:
Did you reset your location while your were traveling? If so, all is gone, and you need to reset the location once more.
