One way would be to check the creation time of the install.log or upgrade.log in /root (providing you haven't deleted them).
ls -lc --time-style=full-iso /root/*.log

That's as good a way as any. You might try verifying that by checking the change times of, say, the five oldest Texinfo pages on your system:
stat -c "%z" /usr/share/info/* | sort -nr | tail -n 5
If those dates agree with the ones for /root/*log and /root/anaconda*, then that's a pretty good candidate.

rpm -qa --last | tail -n 1
This will give you the first package installed and the time it was installed, which should be the date the system was stood up.

The options for my 4.4 install listed the package, but no date/time stamp.
rpm -qi centos-release showed dates well beyond when I knew I installed the system.
I performed a check of /boot and discovered memtest86+-1.70 with a date most likely when the system truly installed.
I'm looking forward to other responses. A good question!

Probably because you "installed" Centos 4.4 as an upgrade. The install timestamp for centos-release would be the time of the upgrade, not the time of the installation of whatever was there before.
