In this case, it is the overflow as 01111111...11111111+1 in binary becomes 10000000...00000000. (Yes, negative numbers in signed integer format are represented as starting with 1)
But yes, some programs erroneously fall back to 0 in case of a null value, which corresponds to 1970-01-01. That’s why so many geotags were recorded for Null Island.
