'C-h v emacs-repository-version' will let you know which commit your
Emacs was compiled from; running 'git show $commit' inside the
repository would then allow you to check how old that commit is.

"x.0.50" does not carry a lot of information; it's a moving target that
spans months of development.  See how 'M-x report-emacs-bug' appends the
commit to give readers more context:

> In GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (<BUILD-CONFIG>)
>  of <BUILD-DATE> built on <BUILD-HOST>
