Yes, of course some jiggery pokery has been done to the video when it was put on the site, and in my opinion it looks great for it.
The fact that some of the original content originated on film is irrelevant to how it looks now. It almost certainly came from a domestic format, any processing has had to do a lot more than just changing field and frame rate!
A supposed archive adding detail that was never there in the first place (using AI at that) does seem more than a little ridiculous.
I can perhaps see the temptation of not re-digitising old clips that were originally 25fps and low resolution when they were first uploaded, but applying it wholesale to clips that feature film segments is hardly treating the original material with respect.
