If your php code work and displayed the date as “THU JAN 1970”, it happen due php code ‘D M Y’

You should refer this page http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php to change code that will suit your display need.

<?php global $post;

$lalaposttime = date( 'CHANGE THIS', strtotime( $post->post_id ) );

echo $lalaposttime; ?>
