As far as I know, real Mac hardware has somehow different BIOS/EFI settings. Power off your Mac and holding down the "option" key press power button, after that choose Recovery partition and try changing the date from there (terminal or any other method if listed). Reboot machine and enter again in Recovery and verify that date/time has keept it's value and if that's the case then try re-starting and boot from USB installer.

I'm glad @Asural and @DarkWolf had luck with this.

Thank you @intelmacosx86
When I told this story elsewhere, I was advised that the CMOS battery was weak and should be replaced.

Neither can I make it freeze on screen using clover's option to NOT reboot after kernel panic nor is a video capture possible. If left unplugged, the internal clock may become abnormal and the installer may not work. It became a similar state in El Capitan...

sorry, disregard my previous message. I changed the date in the BIOS back 4 years, and it looks it is installing now..

+1 to the above, had to set the clock back to 2017 to install el capitan, apparently apple wants to punish people with an incomprehensible error message when you try to install an older OS
