Why not? It claims to have been written during the reign of Hezekiah.

However, the sort of people who believe that Daniel is genuine prophecy probably also believe that Revelation is genuine prophecy, so it is probably not a good example...

Hence why Revelations isn't a good example, and why Isaiah wouldn't be...

Well, not prophetic, but a book set in a period in which it was clearly not written is Judith, which claims to be of the period of Nebuchadnezzar, but is clearly written long after the fact. 5:18ff is a cryptic description of the fall of Jerusalem, so we have a book set in one period being written for another (which is what is seen in Daniel) and calling for unity and resistence in that later period.
