Is it possible to see the creation date of a wallet? If so, where? Is this information publicly recorded in the blockchain? I don't seem to find it. For instance, consider this random address (taken from endorsements to a recent block). Can we know when it was created?

My suggestion would be using tzscan API.
For example checking all activations until you find a match
something like this:
index = 0
loop while true
GET https://api1.tzscan.io/v1/operations?type=Activation&p=${index++}&number=50
compare each item
end loop
It has a timestamp for each activation
Correct way of doing it with tzscan
Replace <public_key_hash> below with the tz1 address:
https://api5.tzscan.io/v1/operations/<public_key_hash>?type=Reveal
So, your example address is here

So activation time is the creation date? And is that in the blockchain? Apr 8, 2019 at 14:03

Yes, but you need to have a copy of the full blockchain if you want to access old activations or do like tzscan that sniffs everything from the chain and stores it on a database. Apr 8, 2019 at 14:12
tz1address (an originated account) was created.
