This should be correct for at least 50 digits after decimal point:
1141973130130727445029596475.9716537356856120861983949092938989852995604918087368059784750017004880305063884032742217053556637130

Yes, it's correct for 69 digits after the decimal point. The following, provided by Math::MPFR, appears to be correct for 129 digits - as increasing the mpfr precision above 450 bits doesn't alter the 129 digit value:
11419731301307274450295964759.716537356856120861983949092938989852995604918087368059784750017004844856171227209226348596180640102

And that agrees (to at least 129 digits) with LanX's script when M::BF precision is set to -1050.

Cheers,
Rob
