When the debug certificate is expired, just rm ~/.android/debug.keystore. Another will be created when it's needed.

The unusual date makes me wonder: what is your TZ set to? There is a known bug if your computer is not using a Gregorian calendar, which can cause the generation of an already expired debug certificate.
