I am using Google Satellite (via QuickMapServices) in QGIS to count settlements in a certain area, and I'm looking to compare this settlement data to satellite imagery from a few years back.

Is there a way to know what year the current Google Satellite imagery was taken? Does QuickMapServices update this continuously?

QuickMapServices is only a catalog, not a geodata hosting. Like a search services (google, bing, etc.) this service provides only links, not a data.
So, QMS knows nothing about google satellite capture date and any other metadata. QMS only knows details which user, who create service, added and, additionally, service status.
