"Date" is a defined field for an EPUB. Calibre keeps that field in its metadata/database. If you add a book, what date should Calibre use? If you have "Get metadata only from filename" turned on, it will use the current date. If not, it will use the date from the metadata in the ebook, if it can, and if not it will use the current date.
When Calibre saves a book out, that field is updated with whatever date is in the database. (assuming you have metadata updating turned on)
As to what it means - I'd have to look it up in the EPUB definition, but for me it means "date added to Calibre." I always leave "Get metadata only from filename" turned on unless I am re-adding a book I've saved out, which has my "date added to Calibre" in that field.
