Yes. The framing device is that a routine transmission of the SFTM to the Enterprise was accidentally deposited into US military computers during the time-warp that threw the ship into the 20th Century in “Tomorrow is Yesterday”.
That event occured around Stardate 3113, but in the SFTM there are numerous references to Stardates after that, up to Stardate 7500 or so. Although Star Fleet edited the material stored in the 20th Century to protect the timeline that doesn’t explain the Stardate weirdness (but Stardates *are* weird as we all know).
I wonder who went back in time to edit the material (but how that all works from a time-travel perspective I’m not sure - time travel in Star Trek is weirder than Stardates). I had always thought that going back to the 1960s again just to do some historical research was a pretty thin excuse. Perhaps they had a secret mission that didn’t go into the Captain’s Log. Did Gary Seven get involved? Someone should write that story.
