Jack is a peak human within his own universe. Keep in mind that Peak Human as a concept varies between fictional works as the height to which a human can climb with just training and experience varies based on what kind of setting it is and how the writer wants to portray them.
In many fictional universes peak humans can straight up catch arrows out of the air which is completely unrealistic to real life humans outside of heavily practiced stunts. Peak humans can also leap up onto roof tops in some settings, fight through getting stabbed in the side or shot like they weren't even hit, consistently predict where bullets will travel so they can dodge through a hail of gunfire, and in some instances straight up catch a bullet.
Samurai Jack is a much less grounded setting in which the incredible and absurd happen on a daily basis. Jack would be superhuman to most other settings, but in his highly stylized and action driven narrative he's simply achieved the highest level of physicals a human can achieve, which just so happens to be lifting 20ish tons and jogging with it, jumping hundreds of feet into the air, casually blocking automatic machinegun fire, and surviving some blatantly impossible things like the weight of a 700 ton man or the heat and impact of re-entry.
So within his own narrative he is absolutely peak human with the power of agelessness, though that is more of a curse at this point. On the Battle Forum he'd be classified as a very high end street leveler or a very low end mid-tier, but certainly not peak human.
