It's technically neither fully managed nor truly unmanaged. The TL-SG108E is what TP-Link calls an "Easy Smart" switch, which is a web-managed (or "smart managed") switch. They market this whole tier as "Unmanaged Pro" on the box, which is just branding for the in-between category.
In practice that means: you get a lightweight management interface (browser-based or via TP-Link's Easy Smart Configuration Utility) where you can set up VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, and LAG — features a true unmanaged switch wouldn't have. But it's lighter than a fully managed switch: no CLI/SSH, no advanced L3 features, limited monitoring.
So the description saying "Easy Smart Managed" and the box saying "Unmanaged Pro" are both pointing at the same thing — TP-Link just uses inconsistent terminology for this product line.

Is this managed or unmanaged? The description and text implies managed, but the picture on the box says "Unmanaged Pro".

I have a couple of these and they are "managed enough" for both home use. I use them to separate out some VLANs and do some QOS. If you're going to have more than a handful of these, you probably want to go with the version that supports Omada. But if you're only dealing with one to three of these, this is good price for a switch with pretty much all the features one would need for home use (and would be overkill for 99% of homes.)

As someone else said, it's managed in the sense that it has port management and VLANs and such. It's unmanaged in the fact that there is no centralized management for it and you configure everything locally through a web interface.

For what it's worth, the current packaging says "Easy Smart Switch" instead of of "Unmanaged Pro Switch".

This might be a nice upgrade. A few features to manage traffic.

The one you linked to is a truly "unmanaged" switch. You cannot configure any settings on it. All you do is give it power and connect Ethernet cables to it. The result is all of the machines can communicate with one another.

The switch in this deal is a is a lightly "managed" switch. As others have commented, it lacks a lot of the management features of typical enterprise managed switches. But it includes a subset of features that home lab users can make use of. Especially things like VLANs and LAG. A lot of these switches are being referred to as "smart" switches. This way it differentiates them from dumber unmanaged switches and more capable managed switches.

These are quite disappointing. While a simple VLAN tag might work, they are quite unstable. You can't expect much from this price point, but still.

Do these have ability to set management vlan ID? I have the 5 port versions SG208E and those work well, including the ability to set management vlan ID. That way you can (somewhat) isolate traffic from all those pesky wifi cams and other devices that need internet access but you don't want inside your main networks.

Yes, that's essentially what I use it for. Separate VLANs in conjunction with opnsense and set with VLAN IDs.
