Why does the date and time keep resetting itself and messages appear telling me it may interfere with my files. This is a new problem adding to my list.
How do I go about having these problems resolved

You don't say which MBP you have, but my guess is that your backup battery has died. If you have a backup battery, it is a tiny battery located on the logic board that keeps the time and date. If this battery is dead, then your Mac has to rely on the main battery to keep the date and time. If your main battery is bad, then every time you disconnect your Mac from the power adaptor, it will lose the time and date.
So you likely need to replace a battery.
Here's a link on resetting the PRAM and VRAM that might shed some light.

Good luck!
Hi,
Go to System Preferences > Date & Time > click on the lock and enter your password > click on Set date & time automatically > go to Time Zone and select the proper time zone. If this doesn't "stick", and also after having tried the suggested NVRAM reset, boot into Safe Mode and repeat the process: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
I have a 2016 MacBook Pro with Touchbar. I have the same issue. Since my MacBook is less than 2 months old I am not sure the battery is the issue. I normally leave the MacBook plugged into the power supply. When I open date and time preferences and unlock it the time resets to the current date.
