It’s real. See my comment below explaining what happened, namely that it’s from early 2021. I suggest editing your comment, as you only checked the years this wouldn’t possibly apply to (the screenshot was made pre-2024).
This was not from 2013. This screenshot was provably from 2021, specifically anywhere from January 17th to March 27th. The FreeBSD Foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2020 (press release from December 21st, 2020, here). The person who said it was from 2013 wrongly assumed that the logo (upper-left of the screenshot) was referencing the 20th anniversary of FreeBSD itself and not the FreeBSD Foundation.
The reason it’s so low is that 1) this is kept track of throughout the year, and 2) it was a matched donation or donations. Thus, Apple matched donations throughout the year, eventually amounting to $1000–4999, but at the point this screenshot was taken (early in the year), they were only between $5–24.
Please read my comment below explaining this. You’ve accidentally edited more misinformation into your comment in trying to be more thorough.
Yeah, I was sceptical of the 1993 + 20. Do you have a capture that shows this? This one has the 20th anniversary banner but Apple doesn’t appear at all in that capture for 2020. I think these pages have changed over the course of the years. There may well be one as per the comic, but it’s not easy to find.

Edited. I found receipts back to 2018 but I can’t see any earlier records.
