Apple IIe did not come with a real time clock standard.  You could
add one, though.  ProDOS was designed with a clock in mind,
though, and most software requested that you enter a date if you
did not have a clock installed.

ProDOS is Y2K compliant as is most software, but it depends.
ProDOS' calender table must be updated every few years.  You
can say it suffers a Y2K like problem every few years, but since
patch programs to forward the calender table are readily
available, this is no problem.

The last version, ProDOS 8 version 2.0.3's calender table goes
past Y2K.
