although I would agree with 608.2b in most cases, I see no reason why the spell would be considered targeted. 115.1a states it would be targeted if the spell identified a target the spell would affect. However, this spell targets something it will not affect, and therefore is not targeted, rules as written.
115.1a An instant or sorcery spell is targeted if its spell ability identifies something it will affect by
using the phrase “target [something],” where the “something” is a phrase that describes an
object and/or player. The target(s) are chosen as the spell is cast
