Does unlisted videos affect Google ranking?

If we have many unlisted video which are used to embed in forums, does they affect a channel's SEO, ranking, etc? Say I've 100 published videos of high quality (content + video) and 50 unlisted videos just embedded or linked some where outside YouTube.

My intention is to embed some videos in forums and other places, keeping main channel videos in tact. I don't want my subscribers to see them as it won't be of high quality and addresses only certain topics. I don't want Google to index them.

The closest option I see is to create a separate channel and upload videos there. But personally I don't want to create another channel for this.

I've explored about this topic, but no concrete answers. Any thoughts?
 
To reply to my own post, I just found from another web source that unlisted videos won't display in search and suggestions. So I'm deducing that it shouldn't have relevance to the ranking as well.
