How do we know that Mr Zagórski was born on 4th April?

This daily date is only the date when the post on site Paczka dla Bohatera was added. He could have been born in any other month.

It isn't written anywhere that he celebrated his birthday in April.

Mr Zagórski was born on 28 October 1918 and passed away on 10 December 2024.

The above dates were confirmed in the cemetery grave finder: https://www.zck-krakow.pl/funerals

It means that he has never been the oldest living men in Poland.

Błędne imię.
15.10.1919 urodził się Pan Paweł Kołek, nie Karol 😉

Makes one realize just how exceptional Stanislaw Kowalski was, almost reaching age 112. It might take a long time for another Polish man to break his all-time record.

Mr Józef Mierkowski passed away on 16 February.

Makes one realize just how exceptional Stanislaw Kowalski was, almost reaching age 112. It might take a long time for another Polish man to break his all-time record.

Not just him (though especially him), but also Leon Kaleta (who died just one month short of age 110) and Silfredo Kalinowski (who was not a Polish citizen but was of 3/4th Polish descent, to my knowledge--and who died at age 110).
