I remember reading that the 928 was the first car called a Super Car.

It's relative to the contemporary cars that were available at the time it was new. It must have performance in the top 2% of cars that were available at the time. A Duesenberg SJ would qualify. Homebuilts don't count.

One litmus test for supercar is it gets you laid.

Example 1: At one time I owned a Chevette. I never got laid driving that car. Conclusion, while the Chevette may be the precursor to the highly regarded Astec, it is not a supercar.

Example 2: I bought a 911 3.2 Carrera. I got laid. More often than my neighbor who owned an SC. Conclusion, the 911 3.2 Carrera is a supercar, but while it gets you more tail than the SC, it is low on the supercar totem pole, but not the lowest.

Example 3: I bought a 964 C2. That in combination with example 2, oh man let me tell you, I now get laid morning, day, and night. Conclusion 1: the 964 C2 is a supercar. Conclusion 2: owning 2 super cars lower on the super car totem pole is easy on the wallet and also gets you the quality chicks, the ones that like sex, sports, beer, and the great outdoors.
