Those who say adverb are WRONG.
In this sentence, "there" is the subject - it is acting as a pronoun.
That is completely different to saying "the man was there" - or "there, a man is in the house" - where the man is the subject and there is the adverb.

Yes it is used as an adverb meaning in or at that place as opposed to 'here' meaning in or at this place. It is used to denote the whereabouts of the subject.

There indicates place or location. There (in that location) is a man (the location).
