My hot take: it’s not really a “computer” unless it’s Turing-complete. The Antikythera mechanism is incredibly cool and all, but it can only perform a finite, fixed set of calculations and thus fails to meet that definition.
Technically it’s a computer because it can compute something, it’s just not a universal computer.

“Mechanical Computers” were almost exclusively limited in what they could compute.
