What are these kind of backlinks?

These are from scraper sites. They mainly show up on SEMRush, and are just some of the shit links you'll pick up when you're ranking for anything worthwhile. There are lots of previous threads about them for you to peruse:

I saw some kind of backlinks on ahrefs like this below attached image. The backlink gained with an image of the website but when I checked that tagged image is not on that referring page. Not even in the source code. But that website has got hundreds of such links. Can someone please explain what is this method and how to build these kind of backlinks?

As far as I've ever understood (there have been many types of this spam over the years), Google doesn't take it seriously anymore.
