Any suggestions on how to extract the dates from all my scanned images? (zerobytes.monster)

I have a few thousand photos I've scanned from the 1990s and earlier. Many of them have the date the photo was taken in the corner (see example here with a photo taken October 4, 1992)

I'd like to create a (presumably Python) script that uses image recognition, sees if a photo has a printed date, extract the date, and edit the EXIF data with that date. Has anyone done this before? Does anyone have any suggestions for what open source tools/libraries could be helpful?
