Another post regarding time travel got me wondering how far back in time can I hypothetically leave a modern computer where they, the most capable engineers of their time, can then somewhat reverse engineer it or even partially?

I’d say before the 19th century, this theoretical computer would be so much slower that even the idea of constructing such a machine wouldn’t occur to people, cause there is no problem it would solve and no task it would help with.
It would help with playing solitaire if they didn’t have a deck of cards nearby
