The world's first "automatic electronic digital computer" was the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, conceived and built by Atanasoff and Berry during 1937-42, but the invention was "reduced to practice" no later than 1939. The ENIAC invention was later derived from this work, thus invalidating the ENIAC patent, and the British Colossus computer was not invented until 1944.
Some believe incorrectly that the abacus is a "computer", and it was invented a very long time ago. However, others believe that the abacus was no more a "computer" than, say, a dictionary in a book is a spell checker; it is a tool manipulated by humans in a way that results in an answer.

the first known computer, a mechanical analog computer, was invented and built circa 100BCthe first digital computer, a programmable mechanical decimal computer, was invented circa 1840 but never builtthe first electronic digital computer, an electronic binary computer, was invented circa 1936 and built in 1942. it was dismantled later that yearthe first programmable electronic digital computer, was invented in 1943 and 11 of them in 2 different models were built between 1944 and the end of the war in Europe. this is the only digital computer built built in a quantity greater than 1 until the early 1950sthe first stored program electronic digital computer, was built in 1948 based on a variety of concepts invented between 1936 and 1946. all modern digital computers are derivatives of this architecture
How could Charles Baggage invent the electronic computer if he was born in 1791 and it was invented in 1641?
The electronic computer was not invented in 1641, there was no electronics in 1641. The electronic computer was invented in the 1940s. Charles Babbage did invent the programmable digital computer, the Analytical Engine, but it was mechanical not electronic.
