convert numbers in scientific (exponential) notation into date format

In B3 enter:
=$A3*B$3
This you can drag down (will keep the row number fixed to 3) and across (will keep the column fixed to A).
However, when you are on a modern Excel version you can enter this:
=A3:A7*B2:H2
in B3 and all results will be spilled out in one go without the need to copy down and across. Just make sure that all other cells in B3:H7 are empty.

It looks like that's UNIX timestamp in milliseconds. Formula could be
=(A1/86400/1000)+25569
and apply date or datetime format.
