This PR updates the page Built-in Functions of the Python library documentation: super is not a function (isinstance(super, type(lambda: None)) is False), it is a type (isinstance(super, type) is True), like int, tuple, set, etc. So it should get the same “class” prefix, i.e.

super([type[, object-or-type]])

should become

class super([type[, object-or-type]])

@rhettinger, should this change be backported to maintenance branches?

No, it is almost completely inconsequential.
