The documentation for the encoding may be found at http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/mibs/host.html#DateAndTime. In fact there may be 8 or 11 octets depending on whether time zone information is included or not. The information you need to decode the fields is:

A date-time specification.
field  octets  contents                  range
-----  ------  --------                  -----
  1      1-2   year*                     0..65536
  2       3    month                     1..12
  3       4    day                       1..31
  4       5    hour                      0..23
  5       6    minutes                   0..59
  6       7    seconds                   0..60
               (use 60 for leap-second)
  7       8    deci-seconds              0..9
  8       9    direction from UTC        '+' / '-'
  9      10    hours from UTC*           0..13
 10      11    minutes from UTC          0..59
* Notes:
            - the value of year is in network-byte order
            - daylight saving time in New Zealand is +13
For example, Tuesday May 26, 1992 at 1:30:15 PM EDT would be
            displayed as:
                 1992-5-26,13:30:15.0,-4:0
Note that if only local time is known, then timezone
            information (fields 8-10) is not present.
