Not quite.
The snmpwalk command *displays* the value in this format, but
that's not what is passed back from the agent.

That's correct.
hrSystemDate is defined using the syntax DateAndTime,
from SNMPv2-TC. This type is defined as follows:
DateAndTime ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
DISPLAY-HINT "2d-1d-1d,1d:1d:1d.1d,1a1d:1d"
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A date-time specification.

For example, Tuesday May 26, 1992 at 1:30:15 PM EDT would be
displayed as:
1992-5-26,13:30:15.0,-4:0"
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (8 | 11))
The actual value is a binary string - 8 (or 11) characters long.
Which is exactly what you're receiving.
The "snmpwalk" command then uses the "Display-Hint" to
print this binary string in a more meaningful manner.
But it's up to the client side to interpret this - the agent just sends
the raw value.
