Where do the dates come from?

From the manufacturers' published lifecycle pages and datasheets. Where a date is not published, the card says so instead of guessing.

What does discontinued mean here?

The manufacturer no longer sells it, or is selling the last stock. It can still be supported. End of support is shown separately.

Not necessarily. Equipment past vendor support can stay in use with protective measures such as network segmentation and access control.
