Berlin Public Transport Ticket Validity
I have purchased an AB zone Berlin 7 day transport ticket and validated it on Sunday 17th April so hopefully it will be valid until Sunday 24th.
I validated the ticket at about 10:00am so I guess 1000 is the time I validated? But what are the numbers 15 and 6 and letters 'So' correspond to? How (if checked by a guard) can they tell if the ticket is valid? And how can I as a customer tell when it is validated to?

I will refrain from a full translation. The important part is that it's valid starting from 00:00 of the day of validation. Thus your ticket is valid until the end of Saturday.
Coming from the Munich area the stamp itself is kind of confusing to me but a short google search yields that indeed as the comments suggest, the information is time, weekday, week number, year.
