Good question :).
Yeah Shakespeare is a great example.
The King James Bible might be the ur-example, as I’ve heard it said that it’s so influential it basically shaped the English language.
As another poster said, the phrase “product of its time” in this case is talking about if the language holds up over time or ends up sounding dated and thus loses its luster.
