Hi,

I hope this is the right place to do my bug report.

please see the following shell input-output:

```

$ date -d "17 april 2022 + 36 week 5pm" +'%G-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.0Z'
2022-12-25T17:00:00.0Z
$ date -d "17 april 2022 + 37 week 5pm" +'%G-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.0Z'
2022-01-01T17:00:00.0Z
$ date -d "17 april 2022 + 38 week 5pm" +'%G-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.0Z'
2023-01-08T17:00:00.0Z

```

as you can see the input "17 april 2022 + 37 week 5pm" makes date return the wrong output for some unknown reason.

Do I do something wrong?

I use the following version: date (GNU coreutils) 8.30
