Wait is this the kind of event people have been warning about that can wipe out the internet? or is this not that serious?

Edit: After a bit of research it might not be that big of a deal.

Why does the date stamp in the video say 2023-11-28?

Looking this up, I found a bunch of stuff from last year talking about it and only the yahoo source from the past couple days. I also found this:

earthsky.org/…/sun-news-activity-solar-flare-cme-…

Which suggests no m9.8 flare recently

Though there has been a couple of stronger X-class flares. Late last month there was an X1.3.
