Actually the manual page on Linux says

     %s     The number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970‐01‐01 00:00:00 +0000
            (UTC). (TZ) (Calculated from mktime(tm).)

Maybe instead the newstrftime.3 manual should give the same hint?
The POSIX standard does in sofar as it says

  s      Replaced by the number of seconds since the Epoch as
         a decimal number, calculated as described for mktime()
