I don't see it at ruby-doc.org, either.  Check out lib/time.rb:420 (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/f75b676cc4f5411c4c1aa8cc9cb48d5dd665af6f/lib/time.rb#L420)

Bug #10049: RDoc bug for time format
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10049#change-47920

* ruby -v: 2.1.1
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
A bug report https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8941 notes a contradiction between RDoc and Ruby behavior. If tadayoshi funaba is correct and `%Y` should be able to accept digits less than four, then the following RDoc description is a bug, and should be corrected.

    %Y - Year with century (can be negative, 4 digits at least)
