I don't believe the Jews think it's "fake," just not authoritative like the rest of the Tanakh. After all, the story of the Maccabees' rebellion is the inspiration for Hannakuh.

I think the Book of Maccabees also supplies the traditional authority for the efficacy of praying for the dead, but I don't know that that's why Christians initially included it in the canon.
