We've seen Google test three dots that can trigger an "about this result" overlay in Google search. But now I was sent how this about this result box can show the first time a site was indexed, if that site is secure, the URL and if the result is an ad or not.

Google knows this site was indexed by Google more than 10 years ago. I wonder why it doesn't say the exact date?

I cannot replicate this but Frank also shared this on a People Also Ask box, and what Google shows there:
