It does no such thing. What are the extant texts from the ninth century to which you are comparing it? It, in fact reads very much exilic and post-exilic, to the degree that a text can be dated on style.

Exactly. The historic evidences within the document indicate ninth century
BC authorship, language can be archaized, but the literary style is
consistent with a pre-Babylonian Exile style in a way that was not copied by
any post-Babylonian Exile Hebrew documents, which also shows up in the
poetry of the document. Therefore, the claim that the one word shows late
authorship is contradicted by a far greater weight of data indicating early
authorship.
