as free software, Lynx comes without warranty of any kind,
but the volunteer developers try to make sure it is bug-free.
the answer to your question is in the README file:
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
We believe Lynx works properly for the Year 2000 issues,
since it does not store dates in 2-digit form.
Since it must communicate with a wide range of web servers,
it interprets dates in a variety of formats. In particular,
if Lynx receives a date with a 2-digit year,
it assumes that values less than 70 are in the range 2000-2069.
