The expiry date on the form does not relate to the form itself but is for internal use within the USCIS. Ignore that date. Always use the most recent form on the official website and you can't go wrong.

The section in bold and red is incorrect, the expiration date is the expiration of the comment period to the Office of Management and Budget, not for USCIS internal use.
