You can use:
last -xf /var/run/utmp runlevel
to get true uptime in this instance.
Or use some dedicated programs, IIRC there is a "uprecords" program
(http://podgorny.cz/moin/Uptimed). Does require no reboot and should
work right away.
I never understood uptime anyway, the boot time, to the second, is
available in /proc/stat (btime), and it isn't that hard to turn it into
whatever format you find human readable. I have a perl script which
presents uptime as fractional days, days, hours, min, sec, and/or boot
time. Took me about two minutes to write.
