That sounds like a manufacture date being flashed. Have you checked the battery? If you can't backup first, all your changes (custom sounds) will be lost, but that might be what you are looking at. Replace the battery, or have a service center do so. You'll want to reset after.
Try ROM check first.

There's a watch type battery (flat disc) on one of the boards inside the X5D. This maintains the settings while the keyboard is switched off and could be the whole problem. The keys are on two different circuit boards connected with a multi-pin cable. If the cable were dislodged I would expect it to simply cut off half the keys but it's probably worth checking.
You can't always believe the display in regard to the model... Try finding the revision level display that will tell you what you have... It is NOT likely a seller would strip a X5D case to try to fool you.
Find what the difference is in the model and test your unit for that feature.
