It looks like --utc is the default for your system.  As the man page
says, hwclock defaults to --utc or --localtime depending on which
was most recently specified while setting the hardware clock.

And your system time is about 5 minutes behind your hardware clock.

Looks ok to me.  hwclock always displays time in local time.  If you
tell hwclock that hardware clock is kept in UTC, hwclock adjusts for
the current timezone before displaying the time; if you tell hwclock
that the hardware clock is kept in localtime, hwclock makes no
such adjustment before displaying the time.
