You can open the console (Window | Console, or Ctrl-T) and use the `listtransactions` command with "*" as the label, 10 (or whatever) as count, and keep running it with higher values for "skip" until you get the last transaction, and look up when it happened.  This only tells you the date/time of the first bitcoin you received.  Feel free to use this to answer your own question.  How old a bitcoin-core account is seems like a good question, so I vote to keep this open.
