Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

In [1]: date_range('300-01-01', '2000-01-01', unit='s')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

OutOfBoundsDatetime: Out of bounds nanosecond timestamp: 300-01-01 00:00:00

Issue Description

error mentions nanosecond timestamp, and isn't particularly clear

Expected Behavior

Either a clearer message, or to parse it despite the missing leading zero. Not sure, will take a closer look
