Not necessarily.  A more likely possibility is that the files were
truncated to zero length, and the modification times cranked back to
the epoch with something like the "touch" command, before they cut
the S5R2 tape at AT&T.

An additional interesting data point, from the S5 "Release 1" tape:

	gorodish$ cd /archbeluga/s5/usr/src/uts/vax/io
	gorodish$ ls -l *x25*
	-rw-rw-r--  1 sys             0 Nov  3  1982 x25b.c
	-rw-rw-r--  1 sys             0 Nov  3  1982 x25m.c
	-rw-rw-r--  1 sys             0 Nov  3  1982 x25r.c
	-rw-rw-r--  1 sys             0 Nov  3  1982 x25s.c
	-rw-rw-r--  1 sys             0 Nov  3  1982 x25u.c

Still zero-length, but with a non-zero mod time.
