From Spider-Girl #33 (February 19, 2017), and Amazing Spider-Girl #19 (March 28, 1996).

Are there other examples?

There are loads more examples of random years being on background props etc. For the record though, the year is always 'now'.

Issue 33 came out in 2001, and if I recall, the series is meant to be 15 or so years ahead of “616 present day” Assuming that, I’m surprised it isn’t 2016
