  You can correct it if you want but I’d recommend doing so only if it has only been a very short time since you published your post. You can do this by editing your Post in the WPAdmin dashboard, and updating the date/time via the Publish module. Make sure to click the update button to save your post afterwards.

  Personally, if you’ve now corrected your site’s time zone in General settings, from my experience, I would just let this one pass and know that the next one will be posted correctly. This is because your post has already been pushed out to search engines and changing the time on a post will cause 404 not found errors if someone comes in through search engines. It will also affect any “Recent Posts” widget, etc., you may have in your site’s sidebar.
