If you're using python I resolved this issue by add xldate class from xlrd lib, here I show you the code (This is in Odoo 10 module):

from xlrd import open_workbook, xldate
wb = open_workbook(file_contents=excel_file)
data_sheets = []

        # Parse all data from Excel file
        for s in wb.sheets():
            data_rows = []
            headers = []
            for row_key, row in enumerate(range(s.nrows)):
                if row_key != 0:
                    data_row = {}
                    for index, col in enumerate(range(s.ncols)):
                        value = s.cell(row, col).value
                        key = headers[int(index)]
                        if key == 'Date' and (isinstance(value, float) or isinstance(value, int)):
                            value = xldate.xldate_as_datetime(value, wb.datemode)
                            data_row[key] = value
                        else:
                            data_row[key] = value

                    data_rows.append(data_row)
                else:
                    for index, col in enumerate(range(s.ncols)):
                        value = (s.cell(row, col).value)
                        headers.append(value)
            data_sheets.append(data_rows)

value = xldate.xldate_as_datetime(value, wb.datemode) will return datetime object with correct values
