It depends on when you obtained your divorce. If it were prior to 1972, you received an Interlocutory Judgment and a later Final Judgment. OR if your divorce was bifurcated, you obtain a Judgment - Status Only so you are single, but the Status Only Judgment holds jurisdiction over all other issues. Then when you settle or go to trial on the other issues, you obtain another Judgment on Reserved Issues.

One of the dates is probably only a clerical error. You can request that the Court correct their records. You should do so particularly if that date is important to how property was divided or support set.

You cannot have two divorce dates. Either there was a mistake on the paperwork with the two dates, or the dates apply to different issues but you can only have one divorce date.
