The lines on the main trunk are indeed old wire marks. In some situations a trunk can locally be made thicker by putting a wire tight around it. In time, you get a swelling above the wire. Most often this is used in a preparation for air layer, or correct local variation in thickness. Not ideal.
I presume you are now talking about the wires that are in the crown. There one can see the tree starting to grow around the wire. This means it is time to remove the wire. If the branch does not stay in place, wire again taking care to put the wire on in the other direction (clockwise vss counter clockwise).
