Well. looks like squid using heuristics after all:

returning FRESH_LMFACTOR_RULE
It's a shame there's no warning header, like
"https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7234#section-5.5.4"; suggests.
There should be when that cached response becomes 24 hrs old. That log
says Squid only received the object ~18 hrs ago, so the cached
*response* has not been around for 24hrs yet even though the *content*
it refers to on the server is older.
Content on a server being old is no particular cause for alarm if it
gets cached a few seconds/hrs/mins on a proxy.
Though note that Warning headers about heuristics being used are an
OPTIONAL, so it is also not a problem if they are absent.
Guess, I need to set refresh_pattern's max option to minimal value.
Any particular reason you are worried about all this?
Heuristic freshness is normal and usually perfectly fine. A proxy making
heuristic decisions is only a problem if it is ignoring server or client
instructions about the content cacheability. Also, a reverse-proxy as an
agent of the server effectively has permission to ignore things the
client wants - though it is usually a good idea to do a background
revalidation if the client insists strongly on new content (eg.
reload-into-ims option), because that tends to mean there is some
problem with what it got earlier [maybe whats in the cache].

Thank you for reply!
I still don't understand what's happening.
I create file 1.txt with a little bit of text data. Request it with
curl. Web-server returns it without any cache related headers to
squid, squid returns it to me. Getting it with curl one more time,
squid serves it straight from cache without validation(no entries in
log on origin server).
I create one more file 2.txt with some data. Do same things, same
headers in response. Second response from squid is from cache but
validated from origin server(i see 304 in origin server logs).
What could be wrong?
Nothing wrong. Both sequences are valid and normal. The difference could
just be a timing variation as small as a nanosecond in what operations
are performed relative to each other - with heuristics based on 0.2 of a
recently created objects age HTTP's 1 second in timing resolution is
both very course and very sensitive to rounding limits.
