So the prediction you are mentioning is only implemented for displaying live flights, but it is used because quite a few people will look up and want the planes on map to match up.
Also i would not trust the timestamping on the data, the outliers in the following plot are very likely because of one of the receivers clocks being off.

Apart from that FR24 on their blog released the raw data for the flight in much better granularity than available on their website flight history.
It's unlikely that these data, probably received by multiple receivers differ significantly from what was sent by the ADS-B sender of the aircraft in question.

Because the plots of the data on the blog website are somewhat lacking, i plotted the data below in case anyone is interested:
