I'm not sure - best thing is to look for yourself? I don't have it currently installed on my calibre machine. But I suspect it doesn't.
The optional Audit Log plugin maintains a history of metadata changes, even lets you undo them, but you have to have it installed. See
Index of plugins

Some metadata changes will cascade through many books, e.g. a change to the Link field in the Manage Authors list will cascade through all books by that author. Is there something common about the books that had their metadata bloated.

Hmmm -
