Well it seems my uptime has reset itself. It happened roughly 7 hours before it hit 50 days. I know this is not really a big deal but I do find it weird.

This is because you're running a kernel where the "ticks" (the internal counter the kernel uses to keep time) are ten times more than a regular kernel. A regular kernel resets the uptime after roughly 497 days, because the counter can't hold bigger values. Your kernel reaches this level after a tenth, or about 49.7 days The higher tick rate is supposed to give a better desktop experience
