Suspect those Office 2007 updates are not legit:

Support for Office 2007 ended on October 10, 2017. All of your Office 2007 apps will continue to function. However, you could expose yourself to serious and potentially harmful security risks. Upgrade to a newer version of Office so you can stay up to date with all the latest features, patches, and security updates.

Question is why Eset Protect would even acknowledge them regardless if Office 2007 is installed or not.

Check Control Panel -> Programs on that device again. Is Office 2017 installed? This could be a bug with Eset Protect properly detecting what Office ver. is installed.

You can run this Powershell script to determine if there are any Windows updates available:

$searcher = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Searcher

Write-Host "**********************************************************"
Write-Host "*** IsInstalled=0"
Write-Host "**********************************************************"

$objSearchResult = $Searcher.Search("IsInstalled=0")
foreach($objUpdate in $objSearchResult.Updates)
{
	Write-Host ( "                       UpdateID : {" + $objUpdate.Identity.UpdateID + "}" )
	Write-Host ( "                 RevisionNumber : " + $objUpdate.Identity.RevisionNumber )
	Write-Host ( "           InstallationBehavior : " + "CanRequestUserInput=" + $objUpdate.InstallationBehavior.CanRequestUserInput + ", Impact=" + $objUpdate.InstallationBehavior.Impact + ", RebootBehavior=" + $objUpdate.InstallationBehavior.RebootBehavior + ", RequiresNetworkConnectivity=" + $objUpdate.InstallationBehavior.RequiresNetworkConnectivity )
	$objUpdate
}

Write-Host "**********************************************************"

We merely query Windows for available updates, ie. do the very same what the above script does. It's a question for MS why it offers updates for Office 2007 that you don't have installed.

For various types of optional updates, please refer to https://www.howtogeek.com/751889/should-you-install-windows-10s-optional-driver-updates.

You may need to run the PowerShell console as an administrator or temporarily change executionpolicy to bypass for instance.
