Why are all these backend "wp-admin" pages being indexed?

I used screaming frog SEO spider and it shows me that there are in total 357 pages on my site, the problem is that, most of those are like backend "wp-admin" pages, and next to them it says indexable..

I feel like this may be dragging down my SEO?

Would it benefit me to somehow hide these pages from google to help my SEO ranking? Also, how do I go about hiding these? Why do they get index'd if they arent supposed to be client facing. It index's photos that I uploaded to my site, ... see attached

Any help is appreciated!

Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
