While not shown on the webinterface, you can get the precise times via the API, for example
   https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/probes/6425?fields=first_connected,total_uptime
for probe 6425.

Comparing the total_uptime of the query above (172964827 seconds), with the time on the webinterface (5y 176d 21h 48m) I get 364.999 days, so I'd assume it uses y = 365 days if you include the seconds.

Best,
Malte
