Google PR is still seen sometimes on online forums and whatnot. In that case, I'm wondering if it still means anything. I mean, from what I can remember, it seems to be as dead as the dinosaurs. In fact, now it's been mostly unofficially replaced by stuff like DA, PA, Trust Rank, Citation Rank, Moz Rank and maybe more metrics.

I don't understand why service providers still have "High PR Backlinks" in their titles and even in their descriptions, because it doesn't mean anything now that Google doesn't use PR as a metric for rankings.
PR was discontinued because it can be gamed fairly easily. Google picked up on this and decided to cut it out because a lot of big websites were getting high PR solely based on guest posting, buying links, press releases, etc. I remember when targeting high PR links was a thing we all targeted, and it was like getting a diamond link aimed at your website and watching your rankings sky rocket over the next week or two But that doesn't happen anymore
DA, PA, Trust Rank, Citation Rank, Moz Rank, etc. are definitely the better metrics to look over when you're wanting to build backlinks. Remember, a good backlink is harder to get now, so you'll have to do a bit of work in order to obtain them Google knows this, and they have their algorithm set up so they can see who is actually putting in the work to make their website more well known and filtering out the people who just want to get rich quick haha PR has been dead for a while now and should be ignored at all times. Sure, a high PR website or blog will likely be an authority, but it's not an accurate measurement now that Google discontinued it.
