Seems to me that this course of action is to cover their tracks (before firing me) as I have been working at this company for over a year without a contract but receiving benefits (salary, pension plan, group health insurance etc.)

It should also be noted that after my initial contract expired in Feb 2023, I have been persistently asking when I will receive my new contract but to no avail.

The backdated contract also have a different job title on it than the one I initially agreed to when i was first employed by the company two years ago. I was also given this contract without a new job description attached.

Should I not sign and take it to court?

PS: I don’t work at an “at will” job.
