What is it with you and your fanwank allergy?

Earth people with the Federation were a warp civilization actively "out there" from the 22nd century to at least the 29th century. So maybe the V'Draysh were around doing stuff between at least the 28th century (where the refitted probe came from) and the 33rd century time frame of Calypso.
I'm not saying I think it is the V'Draysh, but I'm just saying the "500 years in the future" time frame does not preclude it. We don't know if V'Draysh were new on the scene in the 33rd century or had been around for a few centuries leading up to the 33rd century.

Oh, you and your urban myths. Try saying "Future Guy" five times in front of a mirror.
Can't buy that Borg tech from the 28th Century would be bothered in the slightest by a hand phaser from 2258. After all, they'd have gone through their "getting shot with a holographic tommy-gun" lesson.
This.
People thought the mysterious repair station on Enterprise in Dead Stop was the Borg, too. I remember those BBS posts. On my podcast, my co-host tried to spin this into the Borg/V'ger theory and I begged him to stop. The only thing this shares with V'ger is the idea that technology was modified by someone (or something) and sent back.
Side note: 500 years in the future puts it in the 28th Century, which is where this guy is from.
That's the thing people forget about Borg, and something that still keeps them interesting. It's easy to just see them as assimilating bad guys evil robots etc hellbent on taking over the milky way, but that's not really the case. If you consider how long the Borg have been in existence their expansion is actually very slow, relative to what they are capable of.
Their true aim is achieving perfection, in a manner in which they as a collective mind perceive it to be Sending some undignified space tentacle thing rigged from a 500 year old probe is about as unborg-like as if they'd put a novelty nose and glasses on it having it sing "Happy assimilations are here again" as it popped back into space.
Probe could have looked like a cowbell. In the 28th century you don't get a lot of opportunities to play the cowbell.
Yeah why not, the Borg had assimilated all of humanity briefly in Star Trek First Contact. They could do it again. It's not like they haven't played with time travel before.
