No kidding!
I know a person who started Labor process in 1996 and when he received his GC in 2000, the date on the GC was his priority date! And he applied for Citizenship in 2001 and was accepted.
It doesn't hurt to try since that's what on the card. You are not making up anything.

You are just following the rules.
To get the date change IS PROBABALY MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than applying for citizenship.
BCIS does not really care too much about 1 or 2 individual .. they don't need more work to fix your card ... they have a lot of other work.
Moreover it is procedural issue.

Send your citizenship application.
Forget about getting a new card. It takes 19 months.

King,
So when you apply for Citizenship, they don't look at the passport stamp date? How can a little typo on the card change everything else on other documents and/or their records.
This is amazing. But then this is INS. No logic whatsoever.

Your stamp may not have been in a passport, if you did not have a valid passport at the time.
By the time most people apply for citizenship, they probably have renewed thier passport at least once, so the stamp is no longer in the new passport.

It was not me, just a person I know. Don't know the details, but it seems to me you need to make a copy of your GC when you file for Citizenship. Anyway, he was lucky to pass that. But again, that's before 9/11, things were more lax then.
