If you look at the 'most recent posts' on my sidebar for my posts page, you can see that the 'date' is repeating. The code and page is below. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

<div class="c-singlepost__sidebar__articles">

<?php
$args = [

];
$recent_posts = get_posts($args);
// echo "<pre>";
// echo var_dump($recent_posts);
// echo "</pre>";

Reset to default 1The same date is always displayed because of the use of echo get_the_date('F j, Y').
As you can read in the documentation:
The get_the_date template tag retrieves the date the current $post was written.
Change get_the_date('F j, Y') to get_the_date('F j, Y', $value->ID) and it should work.
Or without additional DB queries:
<div class="c-singlepost__sidebar__articles-item-date">
<span> <?php
$date = \DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $value->post_date);
echo ($date !== FALSE) ? $date->format('F j, Y') : '';
?> </span>
</div>
Replace
<span> <?php echo get_the_date('F j, Y'); ?> </span>
with
<span> <?php echo get_the_date('F j, Y', $value->ID); ?> </span>
