RTFM.

gnus-article-time-format is a variable defined in ‘gnus-art.el’.
Its value is "%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z"

Documentation:
Format for display of Date headers in article bodies.
See ‘format-time-string’ for the possible values.

The variable can also be function, which should return a complete Date
header.  The function is called with one argument, the time, which can
be fed to ‘format-time-string’.

You can customize this variable.
