I'm not aware that the creation time is stored anywhere (except
perhaps in query logs) but you might be able to infer it from the
modification times of the oldest files in the database's directory.
PG_VERSION looks like a good candidate -- the backend probably
doesn't modify it after the database is created, so if nothing at
the OS level has touched that file then its modification time should
reflect the database's creation time.
