A date is visible in a non-canon deleted scene of The New Mutants.

However, it's obviously not set in February 1979. It's a deleted scene, for one, but also the X-Men are a popular existing team during the movie, as seen in Dark Phoenix, the Deadpool film series and in Logan via comic books.
Plus, there's the fact Colossus is Magik's older brother. He was born in 1986.
I vaguely remember them stating the film began in summer, too, so that contradicts the February date.
Rahne watches an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which must have aired between 2001-2003.
So the film is set in June/July/August of an unknown year between 2001-2019. Let's say Magik is 10 years younger than Colossus, because he's an older bother and such, we have 2016-2019.
