This function returns a CONS with the timestamp and the rest of the
heading:

(defun get-timestamp-and-heading ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (org-back-to-heading t)
    (let* ((h (org-element-property :raw-value (org-element-at-point)))
           (h-no-ts (replace-regexp-in-string org-ts-regexp-both "" h))
           (ts (and (string-match org-ts-regexp-both h)
                    (match-string 0 h))))
      (cons (org-trim h-no-ts) ts))))

HTH,
