Thought it was underwater for a moment based on the thumbnail. Cool find!
I'm struggling a little with understanding what's happening. Is it a dirt road that is wet? It looks a lot like water!
I think you're probably right. The wibbly-wobbly-ness of it makes it look like the surface of water, though admittedly on my computer rather than my phone it looks a lot more like a wet road. I'd guess the wobbly nature of the surface is partly due to wear as you say, but also I presume road building techniques have come a long way in the last 100 years.
Speaking of technological progress, are those power lines strung around in the photo? I bet those are all underground now!
Ah that would make sense too. Either way, you don't see that anymore in a central city area. All the cables these days are underground.
