Cryptic of the Year #5

Seven of this puzzle's answers relate to a specific year—can you figure out which? Online solvers: the answer shows up when you complete the puzzle.

Thanks to Juff (they construct, they solve, they do it all!), who requested this puzzle via a channel-point redemption on my stream—and who is our first repeat customer!

Thanks also to dadgumituh and jmsr525 of The Rackenfracker for their critical eye and help improving this puzzle. If there's anything left in here that seems off, they likely noticed it first!

Please let me know if you solve (joeadultman on Twitch and Twitter), and thank you!
