Why is Europe a continent but not Russia and its culturally similar bordering countries?

Russia is part of Asia. Reasons include geography and the lasting impact of Mongol rule over the Russians. We witness the effects still today.

It would be nice if there were a year attached to this. Is this supposed to be based on the current day? Or was this map put together several years ago?

There should at least be a decade listed, as birth trends today aren’t going to be identical to trends from the recent past. For example, China only ended their “one child policy” in 2016. If this map were made before that, it might need an update by now.
