i think latest supercomputer is "road runner".
The MacBook is a great computer but it would not be officially classed as a SuperComputer.
A "supercomputer" is simply a large computer, that works very fast (much faster than the average home computer). There are many of them, so it is doubtful whether they all use the same type of storage. Computers usually use hard drives to store data; other options include flash storage, and RAM.
Given similar technology the supercomputer is faster, by definition.
Supercomputer is measured in "FLOPS" (FLoating Point Operations Per Second)
San Diego Supercomputer Center was created in 1985.

No - a supercomputer is a single device or system (although fast and expensive). A massive collection of networked computers can give the results of a supercomputer but they would not be considered one.
