I don’t know the first_connection_time, just the probe’s “birthday”. The connected time’s resolution is to the minute, but the birthday is only the day, not the minute.

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_uptim... for probe 6425.

Is one ‘y’ = 365 days or 365.25 or 365.2422 days (commonly held numbers for days in a year)?

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
