by how much from what you set previously ? 

to set your clock, you must use something like that for 2007-02-23 at 07:02
date 02230702
look at the man page

no. it is the hardware clock that is set to software clock at shudown time. 

see /etc/rc.shutdown: line 65:
/sbin/hwclock --directisa --localtime --systohc

you could use ntpdate to set your clock, once a day no more
