The date comes from the oldest know stromatolite fossils.

Controls on development and diversity of Early Archean stromatolites

They were found at the 3.4 billion year old Strelley Pool Formation in Western Australia. The formation they are found in was dated using U–Pb zircon method.

THE 3426–3350 Ma STRELLEY POOL FORMATION IN THE EAST STRELLEY GREENSTONE BELT: A FIELD AND PETROGRAPHIC GUIDE

If you are interested in how that works please read Dr. Roger Wiens’ article Radiometric Dating: A Christian Perspective.

So the answer to your question is no; They didn't just pull a number out of their hats.
