The Overdrive metadata source plugin is an outdated plugin built into calibre that is unrelated to Overdrive Link. It is intended to obtain book metadata from Overdrive, but I don't think it was ever updated to reflect the Overdrive site redesign.

Overdrive Link Helper provides the clickable links for library books in the book details panel using the odid identifier set by the Overdrive Link plugin. In order to do this the calibre plugin architecture requires it to be a metadata source plugin even though it doesn't provide any actual metadata. Overdrive Link automatically installs Overdrive Link Helper unless the Disable links in book details panel configuration option is selected.

ETA: I will fix the typo in the helper plugin name in the next release.
