--- Comment #2 from Albrecht Müller <albrecht.mueller at astrail.de> ---
The documentation problem affects also the time functions (see following links)
as their documenation contains no hints at the pecularities of date and time
calculations (e.g. rounding behaviour, handling of inexact representation of
time values, handling of leap seconds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second
etc.) either.

The problem seems to be inherited from the English version:
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_year.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=WIN
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_month.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=WIN
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_day.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=WIN
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_hour.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=WIN
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_minute.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=WIN
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/func_second.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=WIN

Without a clear specification there is no "expected behaviour" of date/time
calculations and results may vary considerably between different versions of
Calc.
