BUG: pandas.to_datetime produces wrong/strange results on 32-bit float data for 6-column format

[tblum]

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

from datetime import datetime, UTC
import pandas as pd

start = datetime(2024, 1, 1)
end = datetime(2025, 1, 1)
samples = 10


df = pd.DataFrame([
    [  2024,  1,  7, 11, 42, 13],
    [  2024,  9, 19, 11, 54, 20],
    [  2024,  9, 17,  1, 22,  0],
    [  2024,  1, 24, 21, 59, 55],
    [  2024,  6, 15, 12, 27, 30],
    [  2024,  9, 26, 23, 58, 26],
    [  2024,  6,  6,  0, 19, 59],
    [  2024,  1,  8,  2,  7, 43],
    [  2024,  2, 16, 16, 20, 13],
    [  2024, 12, 22, 23, 54,  4]])

df.columns = ['year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute', 'second']


ts = pd.to_datetime(df, utc=True)
ts32 = pd.to_datetime(df.astype('float32'), utc=True)
ts64 = pd.to_datetime(df.astype('float64'), utc=True)

print (ts - ts32)

assert ts.equals(ts64)
assert ts.equals(ts32)

Issue Description

When constructing datetime from 6-column format, and the data is stored at 32-bit floats pandas.to_datetime silently produces strange (off by one day) results.
pandas.to_datetime should either produce correct results or throw an Exception. Correct results would be preferred :)

Expected Behavior

from datetime import datetime, UTC
import pandas as pd

start = datetime(2024, 1, 1)
end = datetime(2025, 1, 1)
samples = 10

df = pd.DataFrame([
[ 2024, 1, 7, 11, 42, 13],
[ 2024, 9, 19, 11, 54, 20],
[ 2024, 9, 17, 1, 22, 0],
[ 2024, 1, 24, 21, 59, 55],
[ 2024, 6, 15, 12, 27, 30],
[ 2024, 9, 26, 23, 58, 26],
[ 2024, 6, 6, 0, 19, 59],
[ 2024, 1, 8, 2, 7, 43],
[ 2024, 2, 16, 16, 20, 13],
[ 2024, 12, 22, 23, 54, 4]])

df.columns = ['year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute', 'second']

ts = pd.to_datetime(df, utc=True)
ts32 = pd.to_datetime(df.astype('float32'), utc=True)
ts64 = pd.to_datetime(df.astype('float64'), utc=True)

print (ts - ts32)

assert ts.equals(ts64)
assert ts.equals(ts32)

Seems like a float32 precision issue. Will work on a fix.
