I bought a Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti G1 Gaming 4G to upgrade an old PC for gaming. The stock GPU clocks are listed as:
OC Mode: 1506 MHz/1392 MHz
Gaming Mode: 1480 MHz/1366 MHz

But While running GPU stress tests... Furmark, GPU-Z, Hwinfo, & Hwmon all show the GPU clock at:
Silent Mode: 1721 MHz
Gaming Mode: 1809 MHz
OC Mode: 1835-1847 MHz
(Memory: 1752 MHz)

GPU temp hits 69C max.

Did this card just get an exceptionally high binned chip?

No, this is how Nvidia's boost works. It will boost much higher than the clock speed as long as the temperature is kept low. If you let it run for awhile it will stabilize, but it will be higher than the listed clocks.

How long would it have to run at OC mode before it should stabilize?

Yeah my msi 1060 gaming has a boost clock on paper of 1809mhz, however GPU boost 3.0 will push it to 1974mhz with no manual overclock and keep it there while under load. Mine goes right to 1974mhz and doesn't drop at all if at or close to 100% load.

It just needs to reach the max temp per the cooling available. I would say 15 minutes and it should be pretty stable clock speed.

I ran Furmark (1080p) for longer than that and the slowest the GPU clock hit was 1809 MHz. Temp never exceeded 72C. GPU was at 100% usage. I guess the Boost is 300 Mhz more than spec'd. (?)

This old rig can only do PCIe 2.0, but that should have no bearing on the GPU clock.

PCIe 2.0 wont effect the 1050ti and wont have an impact on clock speed. Sounds like 1809mhz is your boost. You may be able to overclock it to get more out of it. I dont have a 1050ti, so I dont know what a good OC is for it. Considering that card is already overclocked some, dont expect but a few percent better fps.
