Is there any suggestion that there was anything to learn from manuals being sold in eBay that wouldn't already be well known? Did the person selling the manuals get prosecuted? Was someone court martialed for releasing them?

They were probably illegal to export under ITAR, but otherwise not classified, there are lots of items that fall in to that category.
The legality to own, sell, export, and import things can be different.
