In my case, the REST API returned timestamp with decimal. Below code snippet example worked for me. 

var ts= 1551246342.000100; // say this is the format for decimal timestamp.
var dt = new Date(ts * 1000);
alert(dt.toLocaleString()); // 2/27/2019, 12:45:42 AM this for displayed

You can convert this to a readable date using new Date() method

if you have a specific date stamp, you can get the corresponding date time format by the following method

var date = new Date(timeStamp);

in your case 

var date = new Date(1447804800000);

this will return 

Wed Nov 18 2015 05:30:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

Call This function and pass your date :

JS :

function getDateFormat(date) {
var d = new Date(date),
        month = '' + (d.getMonth() + 1),
        day = '' + d.getDate(),
        year = d.getFullYear();

if (month.length < 2)
    month = '0' + month;
if (day.length < 2)
    day = '0' + day;
var date = new Date();
date.toLocaleDateString();

return [day, month, year].join('-');
}
;
