Driver updates

I'm sure this has been dealt with before but why is Windows 11/64 offering me optional Intel system driver updates from 7/18/1968. That's 54 years ago. I understand that's a default date but still it's probably a very old driver. How on Earth is anyone to know if this driver will solve problems or trash the system?

Windows didn't exist until 1983:

So something else is happening. Got any more details?

I've had a bunch of those, too, on three Windows 10 computers.
I never bothered to research them, choosing to just let Windows install whatever it wanted, but here's similar on another site:
