But for dates, they say she was born in 1072/3, late 1072 and Summer
1072 (Brandenburg says 1174/5) and her first son was born when she was
16. The only given date for the 1st marriage is 1086 so you should
check where your 1080 came from.
The second marriage was in 1106, when she was 34, Adalbert was born in
1107 and the last one when she was 46.

If he was the son of a first wife, Adalbert was presumably born in 1104
or
1105. The marriage of St Leopold to Agnes did take place in 1106, and she
was in her 34th year (though maybe not yet turned 34) at the time.

What is the source for the statement that she was in her 34th year on
the occasion of her second marriage?

Deduction - she was born in 1072/3 and married for the second time in 1106.

From I.S. Robinson's biography of her father, "Henry IV of Germany",
Agnes was born 1072/1073 to Henry IV and Bertha of Savoy. Brothers
Konrad (1074) and the future Henry V (1086) followed, along with two
children, Adelaide and Henry, who died in infancy. Bertha died in 1087.
In 1079, Agnes was betrothed to Frederick of Bueren, who her father had
recently appointed Duke of Swabia. When Frederick died in summer 1105,
Otto of Freising relates that his and Agnes' sons Frederick and Konrad
were fifteen and twelve, respectively.
