Description
Per [this](https://cockroachlabs.slack.com/archives/C05VAJ5H3QS/p1701884538355559) thread, the ask is to add seconds to the date format shown below. Reason is because our metrics tick every 10s, but our events in the UX only show once-a-minute. Operators shouldn't have to wait a full minute to know for certain when something changed unless it's necessary. Second, improved granularity helps make operators more efficient by removing ambiguity about when a setting was changed when using just the UI.

Jira issue: CRDB-34169
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the Events UX date-rendering entry point and inspect the format currently used for event timestamps. Update the displayed precision to include seconds, then verify in the Events UI that timestamps distinguish changes occurring within the same minute and remain consistent with the 10-second metrics interval.
