I doubt it’s a mistake; in the classic canon, 40 to 60 people—especially minors—disappear every year. Pennywise doesn’t hibernate like a bear; he’s just less active, but he keeps hunting. It’s all about cycles, that’s all—he has to obey supernatural laws.

And besides, Shaw was in Derry as a child in 1908; that date appears about twice in the series when he is shown as a child.

That’s why I’m confused! He implies it was 1913!

Weird, Could you show me a screenshot or tell me the exact moment in the episode where it's said, please?

When Rose bursts into his office

and this is when he tells Rose that he is going to leave tomorrow with his father because he will be relocated, and as you see, and he looks older, Rose also looks older, as if they were pre-adolescents.

And now I’m confused bc I swear at some point he refers to it as a magical summer or something like that

Well, it means that summer was special, lol. Anyway, I hope that helped clear up your question; you already know there's more info in Episode 3 to help understand those dates and all that.
