One slight clarification: The epoch the file timestamp
is set to is that of when sudo is run. When one uses
$ sudo -k
the timestamp is set to an epoch in the past. For example
from another (su to root) terminal I now see
# ls -l /var/run/sudo/jmccarty
total 8
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 14 12:47 13
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 23 03:23 18
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 21 16:03 24
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 27 03:15 33
-rw------- 1 root root 55 May 25 16:47 34:root
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 36
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 26 15:16 37
-rw------- 1 root root 60 May 25 13:12 unknown:root
Interestingly, I now see entries with some data in them.
I've wondered whether those entries might not be from
something like that.
$ sudo dumphex /var/run/sudo/jmccarty/34:root

I don't know what that information may represent, but I suspect
it's the entries that su makes to track its information.
