The offending rule:

FH_DATE_PAST_20XX

is in:

/usr/share/spamassassin/72_active.cf

and is scored by:

/usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf

I would just remove the the rules and scores in these files, in addition
to modifying your local.cf file to prevent future incarnations.

There is some bit of controversy as to the rule existing at all and the
fact that even though it was supposedly corrected 5 months ago, it was not
pushed out to the installations or most update processes.

Based on the fact that it wasn't killed ages ago, who knows whether or not
it'll slip back in again?
