It's not clear-cut, but the world of My Hero Academia parallels our own modern times, just with Quirks as a common thing.
Honestly, Horikoshi never specified the year. It's kind of a timeless, Quirk-filled version of our world.
It's set in an ambiguous near-future timeline. The focus is on the Quirks and hero stuff, not the calendar!
