It sounds like you might be working with HDR footage. In the Project panel, right-click on the footage, choose Interpret Footage > Main, then go to the Color tab. That will tell you what the "Media Color Space" is, then there are options to adjust it. If you want to stay working in HDR, then you have to enable Color Management for your composition. But there are different reasons to do each of these and it depends what you want, as well as the specs of your footage.

Can you confirm how you disabled HDR for your test? Also, a clip from 2020 likely wasn't recorded in HDR, so you can't necessarily compare the two.
