The Mariner spacecraft were unmanned at launch.
No, On March 24th, 1975 the probe ran out of attitude control gas and the mission was terminated.
Mercury has only been explored by space probes, specifically Mariner 10 in 1973, and MESSENGER in 2004. Unrelated to the planet are the Mercury spy satellite program of the 1990s, and the 1959-1963 human spaceflight program Project Mercury.
As of 2021, only two spacecraft have visited Mercury: Mariner 10, which flew by three times in the 1970s, and MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging), which orbited the planet from 2011 to 2015. The European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission is currently en route to Mercury as well.
