Google calls the helpful content classifier a site-wide signal
Google Search Central
Google described "a new site-wide signal" and stated: "Any content -- not just unhelpful content -- on sites determined to have relatively high amounts of unhelpful content overall is less likely to perform well in Search, assuming there is other content elsewhere from the web that's better to display. For this reason, removing unhelpful content could help the rankings of your other content." It added: "The classifier process is entirely automated, using a machine-learning model."
