The bash builtin readonly has probably been used in one of the bash startup files when setting HISTTIMEFORMAT.

You could examine each of the possible files for HISTTIMEFORMAT
Code:
grep HISTTIMEFORMAT /etc/profile ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_login ~/.profile ~/.bashrc
If that doesn't identify the cause of the problem the system may be using bash' --rcfile option or the $BASH_ENV environment variable.
