No (it never came on disc), but you might need a computer that came with it originally. It is not one of the old versions Apple has available for download - How to download macOS - Apple Support

OS Installer Error out of disk space, won't start up I stupidly clicked on the update system software. The installer started to install and ran out of disc space. Now it stops on startup and will not get past the Black Apple logo, progress bar screen. I can't get the Target disc mode to show up on my M1 laptop desktop? maybe that is the wrong cable? I have files I can delete if I can get to the desktop or boot up off a disk. Maybe thats it? I can create a bootable start up disc to access the desktop. I used to use a startup CD to do that in the past. ? I am starting to do that but Mavericks is the software that came on the machine. Is there another OS I can try?
