The article below appears at the top of my rss feed which is

it got the '02 date from.

This doesn't look like a "year 2000" bug. That's more a result of the
ambiguity of years represented by just two digits so, for example, it's
not certain whether 24/10/66 refers to 1966 or 2066.
What's the RSS feed's URL?
Is it https://www.theguardian.com/uk/rss ? (Apparently not)
Regards.
I think it is this one:
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/rss
The article in question doesn't seem to be currently included in that
feed (presumably its an entry you downloaded previously) so I can't tell
for certain, but my suspicion would be that the wrong date was included
in the RRS data. Perhaps 30/11/02 (presumably 2002, not 1902!) is the
date the article was digitised or uploaded to their website, whereas
24/10/1966 looks like the original print publication date.
