umask 0000 for the files having rwxrwxrwx, umask 777 for the files having ------
OK, this sounds a bit improbable!
If "touch" and possibly "chmod" don't work or even throw errors, actually do the "fsck" immediately!

What happens when you "touch" one of the files in question? Does the file's date change to now?
As for the causes - if it's not a wrong date setting in the past or corrupt filesystem I don't have any idea, sorry!

It seems that your server simply had a wrong date/time and/or timezone setting during creation of those files.
What does "date" say now?
What happens when you "touch" one of those files?
Also, the umask of the user creating them seems to have been "000".
If you can rule out all of the above, I fear there could be a serious filesystem problem, and you will have to dismount it and run a "fsck -y" against it as soon as possible! Take care to have a valid backup beforehand!
