Do `C-h v org-read-date-force-compatible-dates` and read the doc
string of the variable. You can customize the variable and set it to
`nil' which will give you a much wider range of dates to choose from
*assuming that your Emacs is compiled for and runs on a system that
can deal with such dates* (this is related to the "2038" problem[1] where
32-bit (signed) timestamps will not be enough to count the number of seconds
since the "beginning of time" (that's 1970-01-01 at least as far as
Unix is concerned :-))
This is a difficult compatibility problem which is being worked on on
many fronts and I think there have been discussions about it on this
list.
But read the doc string, experiment on your system and see if you can
live with the consequences of choosing the "other" value for the
variable.

If all what you need is to add day of week you may try C-c C-c instead
of C-c !.

Excellent. C-c C-c does work. I will use that in the future. Thank you.
The 'incorrect' behavior with C-c ! remains.
Adjusting [1960-10-16] fails with C-c !
But adjusting [1971-10-16] with C-c ! works fine.
Something to do with the epoch boundary?

As documented in 8.2.1 The date/time prompt section of Org manual:
Not all dates can be represented in a given Emacs implementation. By
default Org mode forces dates into the compatibility range 1970–2037
which works on all Emacs implementations. If you want to use dates
outside of this range, read the docstring of the variable
‘org-read-date-force-compatible-dates’.
Emacs implementations that won't be able to handle out-of-range dates
are 32-bit Emacs versions. See
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/8735gaqm6i.fsf@localhost
If we can assume that most of Emacs versions are 32-bit, we can flip the
default value of `org-read-date-force-compatible-dates' to nil.
The default `t' value has been set 12 years ago, when 32-bit systems
were much more common.
