I don't know what happens to the extra seconds, but if you run 12/31/37
through the gcc C library conversions to a time_t val, it gets close to
0x7fffffff. Conversely, a time_t == 0 converts to 1/1/80. Trying to
convert 1/1/38 yields -1.

If nothing else, software using the C library localtime(), mktime() etc
will have trouble if time_t doesn't get kicked out to 64 bits. Not a
personal concern of mine; if I live that long, software will be the
least of my problems.
