You cannot use security.debian.org for this. This is what I have for
wheezy:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian wheezy main
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security wheezy/updates main

deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian-security wheezy/updates main

I assume stretch is similar.

You also need
Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false";

in apt.conf.

N.B. I assume you're fetching using squeeze - so perhaps you will need
to download using a newer distro then re-sign the release file. I don't
have such an old release even for experiments!
