The telnet-client.tar.gz archive is an OpenBSD telnet client. It is probably CVS snapshot created from OpenBSD sources long time ago. Following entry in telnet changelog mentions it:

* Tue Apr  6 1999 Jeff Johnson <jbj>
- use OpenBSD telnet client (and fix minor core dump with .telnetrc #247)

I doubt it makes sense to try to find when exactly was this tarball created. I added comment about this to specfile and I think it's enough.
