It works for me with coreutils 8.31 on RHEL 7 x86-64:
$ date +%-Y -d "- 2010 years"
9
Most likely you are running on a 32-bit machine, and dates in the year 9
cannot be represented in a 32-bit timestamp. So a simple fix

Title:
date+%-Y -d "- N years
Public bug reported:
I have been using 'date +%-Y -d "- 2010 years" in a script for years but
today after using the script after upgrading to disco it has failed.
After some experimentation it succeeds with upto 111 years but fails
from 112 onwards.
Error given is:
'date: invalid date '- 112 ye
