February 6, 1970
That date is for the predecessor title, Bessatsu Shōnen Jump. The National Diet Library catalogs Monthly Shōnen Jump itself as running from 1974 to 2007.
Full reasoning
Japan's National Diet Library catalogs 月刊少年ジャンプ (Monthly Shōnen Jump) as a separate title published from 1974 to 2007, with issue range 5巻9号(昭49.9)–38巻7号(2007年7月). The same record explicitly lists 別冊少年ジャンプ (Bessatsu Shōnen Jump) as the predecessor title.
So February 6, 1970 is not the first issue date of Monthly Shōnen Jump itself; it belongs to the earlier Bessatsu Shōnen Jump lineage.

from 1970 to 2007
As a titled magazine, Monthly Shōnen Jump ran from 1974 to 2007. The 1970 start date belongs to its predecessor, Bessatsu Shōnen Jump.
Full reasoning
The National Diet Library's catalog record for 月刊少年ジャンプ (Monthly Shōnen Jump) gives its publication years as 1974–2007 and identifies 別冊少年ジャンプ (Bessatsu Shōnen Jump) as the predecessor title. That means the article is conflating the predecessor's 1970 launch with the later renamed magazine.
So if the claim is specifically about Monthly Shōnen Jump, the accurate span is 1974 to 2007, not 1970 to 2007.
