Title:
  Software & Updates has extended security maintenance until 12/31/9999

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I go to the "Updates" section in the Software & Updates program,
  it says I have extended security maintenance active until 12/31/9999,
  which seems impossible.

  This is the output of `lsb_release -rd`:

  ```
  No LSB modules are available.
  Description:	Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
  Release:	24.04
  ```

  this is the version of software-properties-gtk:
