I guess every Gentoo user that moved to systemd noticed that problem.
I recall fixing it with my machine and with a friends machine, and
seems that everytime you boot into openrc it will screw again.

The problem, from memory as it was long ago and I kept no logs, is
that openrc did weird hacks to set the time. If you go manually and
use "date" and "hwclock" you can fix it and while you keep booting
into systemd it will continue to work.

Also, make sure you have RTC and CMOS compiled in (built-in, not
modules!) in your kernel.
CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y
CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0"
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=y

is what I use.
