Reuse it for what?

At any point in time there are 5 supported versions of Postgres in play. 
Given that you could have also built against one of the unsupported 
versions a file timestamp will not help much. Though if you want to 
guess, version 10 was released October 5, 2017. It is plausible you 
built against a RC version in advance of the production release.

libpq is backwards compatible, so why not try building against a current 
version of Postgres and see whats happens?
