Uncle is a title, so if it’s used as GP did (rather than as a noun like you did), it doesn’t require the commas in this way. Consider the word Mister/“Mr.”
Yeah. FWIW, I had considered modifying it to capitalize "Uncle" as well, but honestly I don't know the rules for that, and the original copy of this I was quoting hadn't done so (though I had seen others which had) ;P.

Well... "I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse" is the actual correct way to write that sentence.

Both are correct but use the words differently.
