I just double checked that date against the git tag for v5.2 (commit 0ecfebd2b524) and it looks like it matches. September 15, meanwhile, is the 5.3 stable release date. I mainly noticed this because the table uses the 5.2 release dates to illustrate the stable update release cycle. I was scratching my head for a few minutes trying to figure out why 5.2 had a date of September 15 and 5.2.1 had a date of July 14, until I realized it was a mistake.
