It depends how fast you can count. The easiest way to do it, is to suppose you can count one number every second. Of course, the smaller the number the faster you can count (on2-two-three can be said faster than one number a second) but once you reach the bigger numbers, then it'll probably take more than a second to say it (eighy three million five hundred and ninety six) so we'll average it out to one second a number.
So it means that it would take 1 billion seconds. Divide that by 60 once and then twice (there are 60 seconds and a minute and 60 minutes in an hour) you get 2777777.78 hours. Divide that by 24 you get 11574 days. You want it in years? Divide it by 365,26 (leap years...) and voilà! 31.69 years!!

Starting 1959 and adding 1 billion seconds, it takes 31.7 Years making it:
=1959+31.7
=1990 somewhere in June assuming the counting started January 1959.

I think you are a little off, It should take nine days and three hrs with 10 minute hourley breaks to count that high. Also you can count more than 1 number a second , I can do seven a second.

1000000000 / (60 * 60 *24 * 365.25) = 31.688 years.
If you counted 1 per second.
