The latest Apache version still uses SSL_SESSION_get_time (ssl_callback_NewSessionCacheEntry in ssl_engine_kernel.c) which is known to have the Y2038 issue and has been deprecated in latest OpenSSL versions.
I did not find any reports for this in Apache bugzilla.
Is this not an issue?
Or it is a known issue and is being worked on for a future release?

Did you already see https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/23648 and the related details in https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/21206 ?

So now SSL_SESSION_get_time_ex should be used instead.
Not sure if and where I can provide a patch.

Maybe at https://github.com/apache/httpd ?
Update: I've opened a PR at the upstream repo: https://github.com/apache/httpd/pull/607
