Man is older than info. Man is more like a simple ASCII file, though it
isn't ASCII, exactly. Info is an early implementation of hyperlinking.
Of course, hyperlinks later became famous as on of the key features

PS: You don't really need to ask the second part of the question above,

In fact, my not even going to answer, because you don't need me to.
