Hello Alceste.
Backlinks are links that connect an external web page to your site, that is, they are links that refer to your site or, in this case, to the author’s sites.
In principle, the links are not bad as long as they are referenced from sites with content related to yours.
From what I see in the extension is to add references to the author of the article and I don’t think it affects the SEO of the page, I also see that it has a good rating.
All the best
