Yeah, it's showing you how to run 'date' at various times and
intervals.

Here's a bit of what Red Hat's "man 5 crontab" says (for what it's worth):

The time and date fields are:

       field          allowed values
       -----          --------------
       minute         0-59
       hour           0-23
       day of month   1-31
       month          1-12 (or names, see below)
       day of week    0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
