Quantum leap is an Isekai. Getting home is a mainstay of the "Summoned Hero" genre of isekai.
Anime examples include:
The Rising of the Shield Hero
My Status as the Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's
My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One In This Other World Stands A Chance Against Me!
Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest
Non anime example: Black Knight
Is a cursed thing to hear and it's absolutely true.
I wasn't sure because the only reason I even say A Kid in King Arthur's court counts even though he just goes back in time is because he goes so far back in time, nothing he knew about the world he knows really applies. Sam never goes back too far, but, then again, wasn't he also from the far future? 🤔
