Yes, but I'm not sure where they are.

https://answers.unity.com/questions/1035472/call-a-public-function-of-a-disabled-monobehaviour.html

Maybe its in here

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.html

Its 'everyt$$anonymous$$ng but' whats listed I do believe.

Ha ha, thanks @meat5000 !

Yeah, I was there and it does show a list of methods that expose the enabled checkbox in editor but it doesn't say whether or not any other functions are called when it is disabled. Perhaps I'm not understanding what the developers are implying but honestly, these are documents and there should be more clarity.

When disabled ONLY the behaviours listed are disabled and EVERYTHING ELSE remains functional, I do believe. You can still interact with the script and callbacks will still work, etc. You MAY POSSIBLY even be able to manually invoke Update() if you so desired.

Disabling a script, basically, means that the listed MonoBehaviours are not Updated. The rest of the script will function. You can test this with a simple script.

Not knowing this is what messes people up when they go down the path of disabling/enabling scripts.
