Libraries classify the scriptures of all religions as 'non-fiction', without making a judgement as to their truth or otherwise.

The Old Testament does contain many accounts that appear to be based on the earlier legends of other nations in the ancient Near East. Some of the supposed historic material in the Old Testament has come under scrutiny and scholars no longer accept it as necessarily true. References to God's intervention in the affairs of the Israelites are unprovable and unlikely to be true where the associated events are not actually historical. But the Old Testament also contains some material that is historically true, especially regarding the late monarchy and the Return from Exile.
