The maximum allowed date (not timestamp) is Dec 31st in the year 5874897, which you can test with the query: select '5874897-12-31'::date; and select '5874897-12-31'::date + interval '1 day'; The latter query fails with "Error: date out of range for timestamp".
I logged nearly this same response for you on StackOverflow, too.
