This is because one of the Tor DIR Servers (Tonga) has problems with
its clock. It's not yours that's wrong, it's the server that's checking
it.

I wouldn't say it was normal behaviour, but it's not something to worry
about providing none of the addresses shown are your own. It might be
due to the exit policies on the various Tor servers but that's only a
guess.
