Why does my timestamp convert to a date thousands of years in the future?

That usually means the value is in milliseconds but was entered as if it were seconds. Unix time is normally seconds since 1970; divide a millisecond value by 1000 first.

Does this account for time zones?

A Unix timestamp itself has no time zone — it counts seconds since an instant in UTC. The human-readable display reflects the time zone your browser reports.
