How to read year info from MBR

Question

I want to fetch the year information from the MBR. Here is my approach for this problem.

For any program, whenever we use 'version' flag we get the year information also. I gues it is the release year of that tool. For example,

ls --version

ls (GNU coreutils) 8.25

Q1. Does the MBR contain the year's info? Q2. If yes, How I can fetch it?

I can fetch the version info like this

1. read the first 512 bytes, seek the offset(0x3E) and read the next 2 chars.

Can anyone help me with this?
