Does STM currently have a guideline or recommendation(s) for handling the 2038 problem?

You mean the year 2038 problem - as @repaint suggested ?

Where do you see that being a specific issue for the STM32 ?

[AScha.3]

You ask about a problem with systems which measure Unix time .

But here is not a Unix system, but just a controller with RTC , that has only years 10 + 1 in BCD : 2025 is only "25" in RTC :

So its up to you, how you handle the full date in your software :

if using a uint_16t to store the "full" year, you will get a problem in the year 65536 - if your device still running and in use.  How long you expect it working and be in use ?
