You can probably find out the relfilenode from pg_class for a given
relation name (relname) and then go to the datadirectory (or tablespace
directory) --> db directory (mapped to oid of pg_database) --> filename.
Check the date time of the file when it was created.

Though I don't think this infra has been built for this very purpose.
