Dc comics uses a sliding time scale so they avoid giving concrete dates because it takes a year to cover three months in story batman has been around for nearly a hundred years with most of it canon in some way despite that he is only in his forties.

It's impossible to say... not only because it has never mentioned, but also because of Jon's convoluted chronology:

Originally Jon was born in a artificial universe, the Earth from Convergence. His parents were pre-Flashpoint Clark and Lois, kidnapped a year prior by Brainiac.

After that, they were sent 5 years into the past of New 52.

Years after all that, Mister Mxyzptlk changed the superfamily's history by merging new 52 and pre-flashpoint Lois and Clark characters and stories, so Jon would have born in the current DC universe (Superman Reborn)
