Of course it did, since "cal" shows Julian calendar dates before
1752-09-14. On the Julian calendar 1000-02-29 very much did exist.

(*) Note that the fact that the Gregorian calendar wasn't invented
then doesn't make it invalid; it just means the people of that
time wouldn't have used it. Note that most localities using the
Gregorian calendar today weren't using the Julian calendar back
then, either.
After all, I doubt Senator Cato thought of the year Carthage was
destroyed as "444 B.C." :)
