      Description

      As an admin if you enable the display period(particularly with an end_date), it correctly reports it's visibility on the discussion list.

      Steps to reproduce;

      1. log in as admin
      2. Create a course, forum and a discussioin
      3. In the discussion, enable the end date to something in the future / past
      4. Navigate back to the discussion list and hover over the calendar icon and notice the descriptions are incorrect.

      NOTE: there are currently no tests to cover this situation. This is a regression from the forum rework
