Yeah, the documentation definitely needs refining.

{{{date}}} / {{{date(FORMAT)}}} [FORMAT is optional] - Inserts the
#+DATE keyword value;
optionally formats as per FORMAT (Refer `format-time-string` function for
syntax.){{{time(FORMAT)}}} - Inserts the current time stamp as per the
FORMAT {{{modification-time(FORMAT)}}} - Inserts modification time of the
file being exported as per the FORMAT
