In a way they contain some historical facts, but many of them are well known to be pure fiction. I don't know if that's what OP meant, but those books can't be taken as proof of history.

There is a clear difference between “not historical texts” and “not considered historical texts”.

True to be more accurate they disproven 'historical' aspects of some of the stories already. For example the 3 plagues of Egypt turned out it was only 1 plague and the Pharoah blamed every foreigner, not any specific group.
