April birthday here and mine is wrong as well. iPhone 13 pro. Hopefully I don’t forget my age ?
Asking Siri for anything valuable is a crap shoot. My latest Siri favorite came last night when I was driving to pick up dinner for the family. I pressed the Siri button on my steering wheel and said in a clear, slow voice "Play songs by Queen". Siri's reply "Playing BBC Radio 2" Cancelled, tried again, same exact response. She really has improved over the years. Sigh.
Can confirm. My birthday hasn’t passed for this year yet, but Siri is prematurely giving me the age I will turn later this year.
Filed a feedback report with Apple, the more we do, the more likely they’ll fix it.

Jumping on this conversation as well, Siri is not rounding up.
My birthday is in late Dec. 1988, so I just turned 33 over a month ago. I just tried asking Siri my age. Of course, she first told me "you need to unlock your iPhone first" (another thing I hate about it now is that almost everything is locked out from the home screen, but that conversation is for another day).
Anyway... When asked, she said I was 34, when I'm just 11 months away from turning actually 34.
Honestly, it's embarrassing how dumb Siri is becoming, it's practically unusable. Not that it was awesome to being with, but we're definitely hitting a new low. We're seeing news on a monthly basis of more options being removed from Siri, or functionalities just not working. *facepalm*

Just like when I ask Siri the following 3 questions:
1) When is Canada's Thanksgiving?
2) When is Canadian Thanksgiving?
3) When is Thanksgiving in Canada?
Siri answered:
1) Thanksgiving is on Thursday, November 24, 2022.
2) Thanksgiving is on Monday, October 10, 2022.
3) Thanksgiving is on Monday, October 10, 2022.
🤔

My birthday hasn’t happened this year yet.
My iPhone estimated my age based on the years (“You are like xx”), while my iPad did an accurate calculation showing my exact age (“You’re xx”).

I mean, if you rely on Siri for that, then in one year if you try that, you'll be divorced soon after.
Siri is just so sad.
After 10 years Siri should be a lot better. The fact that it isn't shows that the original architecture basically sucked. It's just like the Mac Pro trash can - it was designed into a corner.
Hopefully there's a Siri 2 team somewhere, trying to rebuild it in a way that doesn't suck.
