The imagery date for a given image on Google Earth is shown in lower-left of status bar.
If you don't see the Status Bar then it can be enabled in View menu by checking the item with same name.
Note on average the imagery in Google Earth is three years old.
If you change view time with 'Historical Imagery' enabled (also from View menu) then the selected time will also be displayed there. Sometimes newer imagery can be found in 'Historical Imagery'.
