This page is perfectly correct. When you edit a profile you are only editing its title, exactly as documented. You can use the toolbar buttons to save or cancel your changes.
If you want to edit the Configuration of a backup profile, exactly per the documentation instructions you can do one of the following:
1. From the Profile page click on the aptly labeled Configure button next to each backup profile.
2. From the main page of the component (a.k.a. Control Panel) click the Profile drop-down and select the profile you want to use and modify. The page reloads. Click on the aptly named Configuration button. The active profile is clearly displayed at the top of that page for your convenience.
This is all included in our documentation. Some useful links:

https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/akeeba-backup-documentation/using-basic-operations.html#profiles-management see under "Configure..." and "The Edit Profile page"
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please read the documentation before using the component.
