As far as I know there isn't anything to indicate when Pearl picked up the mirror at the Galaxy Warp. She may have found it right after the war, and it sat in her pearl for 5 thousand years until Steven talked about going to school.

I think that Pearl didn't realize there was a sentient Gem in the mirror because Homeworld normally only used non-sentient Gems for devvices like that. Using a sentient Gem would be considered a kind of torture, which is why Pearl, Garnet, and even Amethyst, were so shocked.
