A first hand account from a long time ago is not very good evidence. You can’t interview them. You can’t be sure they are who they say they are or if they existed. Better to have multiple different sources that verify each other.
Your list (and everything being called evidence behind it) is not verification of anything
And another thing. The events discussed would have changed history significantly. That’s another way historical accuracy is determined. For example, no confirmed witnesses saw Caesar crossing the Rubicon, but everything that happened increases the odds that he truly did.
To calculate those odds, consider what would have to be true if it happened, and what would have to be true if it didn’t happen. Then look at the evidence of what happened.
Regarding ‘ancient drawings of circular objects is NOT proof of a computer disk’ - by itself this may be true, but the numerous round drawings are NOT the only things being examined.
When their contents and/or associated descriptions are extracted, listed, then evaluated, a pattern begins to form.
When that list of extractions are compared to the contents of a particular computer disk - those ancient descriptions and/or depictions match.

See the clues that put Australian researcher Ronald Pegg on track to find amazing TIME TRAVEL discoveries. Some form of computer technology is documented in many ancient texts.
The stated “late 1920s” should be ‘late 1820s’.
Here’s some other reasons why someone, such as myself, might be a bit incredulous.
Oct 14, 2023 - Sabine hossenfelder, as if on cue.
What does physics say about time travel? Surprisingly enough it doesn’t just say it’s impossible, it’s more complicated than that. In this video I’ll sort out what Einstein’s general relativity and quantum mechanics tell us about time travel. And is MIT really building a time machine to find dark matter? We’ll get to that.
As for the artwork of all those circles, all over the world, throughout time. I wonder. Why would a circle make a powerful meme? Besides being visually fascinating, even striking (I imagine) to a primitive mind.
You make me think of being told that Noah’s flood must have been real, why else would there be all these ancient stories about catastrophic floods?
Where else could they come from, if the Bible version never happened?
Well, think about it, people settle around rivers and lakes, catastrophic floods with life altering impacts, have been happening to humans since for ever, even today.
How did they play these computer disks without cd or dvd players? Electricity?
The computer taken back with them had a cd-rom drive. The video clearly showed this fact (via several examples).
Regarding “Electricity?” - I personally do not know, but there are several options:

- Someone able to send a human, a computer, and disks back to the past would be able to provide electrical power for the computer;
- onboard battery.
So, we now have a portable battery operated computer with a cd drive and a pre-recorded cd.
I wonder what happened to these artifacts. A circular picture is not proof of anything.
All those round objects existed during those times. It is entirely plausible that people regarded the circle as a holy object, a gift from god.
But the universe is rife with round objects. There is no reason to believe the picture of a round object has any connection with time travel.
Note that you showed a photograph of a cd, presumably taken long before there was photography. Did the time traveler have a camera? Too bad he did not take pictures of the people he showed the computer to.
