see the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T).  
I suspect that there is a (user-defined) field DATE.

it's strange: its like YEAR\_IN\_FOOBAR = DATE+YEAR. I delete DATE and I see only 2019

Have you checked the extended tags dialogue? I don't see it in the screendumps.  
The field DATE contains the month and the year as a 6-digit number.  
In the extended tags dialogue, you would also see if there are 2 fields: DATE and YEAR.  
All other questions about foobar and how it displays tag data would be a topic for the foobar support.  
To add a field in the tag panel, use  
File\>Options\>Tag Panel and click the "New" button (or right-click into a grey area of the tag panel and select Adapt ...)

Please note that the field DATE is a userdefined one. So every player that cannot deal with userdefined fields (which are most players) will not show the time data.  
The 2 fields that are standard fields for this are YEAR and RELEASETIME.
