How can I get rid of it?
These numbers identifies the servers GUID, these servers aren't in use
anymore, and did you remove them from AD using Dcpromo?
If yes, then just delete these GUID from DNS.

in DNS you will find DSA GUIDs, NOT invocation IDs

I thought these were objectGIODs from the NTDS Settings, but when I found
the DNS Alias (from Property of NTDS Settings on each DC), none of the GUIDs
are matched between DNS Alias and the one showing on repadmin /showvector.
Also, when I found the CNAME in DNS (_msdcs), they are completelly matched
with DNS Alias (Property of NTDS Setting).
We removed bunch of DC before and we did not follow the correct process (we
just ran dcpromo and did not clean up from NTDS Utility nor adsiedit), so I
thought those removed DCs informations are still remained somewhere.
Especially, those time and dates were never updated.
Don't I need to worry about it??
to answer your question...
YES, you should cleanup the AD metadata of DCs that still exist in AD but
are not alive anymore.

I was trying to clean up MetaData using NTDS Utility, but I could not find
out the DC information that demoted for a while ago. Normally after demoted,
you see that DC name in the server list in that site. But I don't see any
GUIDs at all anymore.
Instead, I checked all DNS Entry including any tree/folders, I saw bunch of
demoted DC information. So, I deleted all of them.
However, still showing that GUIDs when running repadmin /showvector
dc=xxx,dc=com
I wonder where the information is coming from... Do you have any idea?

it is even possible to see more than one for each DC when the normal name is
shown.
let's day you have a DC called DC01:
objectGUID=12345
InvocID=ABCDE
for some reason you need to do a non-auth restore of AD. after the restore
when the DC is up and running again...
objectGUID=12345
InvocID=FGHIJ
checking the UTDs again you will see
DC1 ......
DC1 (retired) ......
the InvocID is also changed when a new app partition is hosted on the DC
