Edit: In short, it is technically 1577, but since the fall of Dalamud has brought about a new era it is the year 5 of the seventh Umbral era. It always rotates from Umbral to Astral, Umbral being some kind of time of hardship and Astral being a sort of calm age.
In line with this post, our history page on the wiki also has this fleshed out, plus a bit extra. :>
You can find that here.
