Function snmp_parse_inbound_frame in file src/apps/snmp/snmp_msg.c contains a check for the engine time:
  if (request->msg_authoritative_engine_time > (time + 150)) {

After SNMP_MAX_TIME_BOOT seconds (68 years) the engine time will be reset to zero and the boot count will be increased. The last 150 seconds before that happens, there will be a signed integer overflow and SNMP packets will be rejected. Note that msg_authoritative_engine_time and time are signed 32-bit integers. Of course it is unlikely, that a device is running for so long without reboot.
