Ok, just spotted this, not sure about this, is this new or old? I can't remember that I saw this before but then again I have web history disabled.

In the first screenshot Google shows how long you where on the page, in the second result Google shows the actual time you visited the page.

No, it doesn't show you for how long you visited a page, it shows you the date/time when you last visited a page (using Google and assuming you were logged in).

Yes I was logged in with another old Google account with web history enabled. But the first screenshot shows the time 00:31. The time that I was visiting the result for the first time was just before the second screenshot (10:40 this morning). So that's why I thought that the first screenshot was showing the time I was on the page because I defininitly wasn't Googling at 00:31, also not on another day on this subject.

00:31 is definitely 12:31 am. Google isn't able to determine how long you spend visiting a page and even if it could offer an estimation, it would display something more appropriate:

last visit: 31 seconds.
