Is possible to run ARCore on older devices? I want to detect a vertical surface and render 2D image from user gallery on it. Just it.
Maybe you have other libs for it?

For developing apps using ARCore you need at least Android 7.0 or later (even if you want to detect vertical planes). Some smartphones require Android 8.0 or newer versions. Here's a list of supported devices.
It's impossible to use ARCore on older devices. If we assume that you can use older devices – there are software and hardware issues you will run into. Older smartphones and tablets have weaker CPU/GPU, less RAM, and have no definite OS layers necessary for performing tasks for ARCore.
However, you can try Vuforia Engine 'cause it still supports some older Android devices.
