The amulet indicates that the story was known in the 5th century. Not that it was true.

Would an amulet bearing an image of Hercules defeating a monster prove that story's truth? Or that it was a story known and told at the time.

The "Testament of Solomon" is not inspired scripture. It's early Hebrew fan fiction.

I think they concluded the same thing about the Book of Enoch and the book of Jubilee. Similar things were concluded by christian scholars as to the Gnostic texts.
