As with many events in the MCU, we can only approximate the timeline placement within a certain window. It's necessary to have a placement more specific than just 1970 to fit things into the timeline, and we do have a reasonable idea. It's no earlier than January 1, 1970, and it's no later than Tony Stark's birth, May 29, 1970. So it's approximately March 16, 1970 (the midpoint). I would've written a reference up to explain this but this wasn't the proper write-up of events yet, only a skeleton for the structure in case anyone wants to write it.
