Does it really count as a "Dismantled" MacGuffin?

If the orbs function independently, no.

the "people of the era" would be Precursors, possibly also Benevolent Precursors, Neglectful Precursors, or Abusive Precursors, depending on whether the orbs can blow up a city or something, and whether or not the "people" intended for them to blow our cities up.

Fling a Light into the Future if the orbs were made as intentional way to preserve knowledge of the past

^ it's not intentional in this case, though. Sometimes the infos may be misinterpreted by the future people as well.
