I'm new to Autosar and trying to understand the concept theoretically.

I understand the philosophy, the goal, and the uses, but one thing that I don't completely understand is whether Autosar contains some out-of-the-box software components for developers? And if yes how can I recognize them in a binary file?

Assuming that the question uses the term “software-component” according to the meaning in AUTOSAR as some piece of application-level software:

no, there are no software-components standardized by AUTOSAR. There are PortInterfaces that are standardized and out of those PortInterfaces software-components could be created.

And also, some specifications postulate the existence of specific software-components, but this represents actually the opposite of a standardization. Those software-components are mostly postulated because it is not possible to standardize the respective functionality within the respective basic-software module (OEM/suppliers have proprietary approaches that they want to keep).

AUTOSAR defines an architecture with certain methodology and exchange formats. The BSW below and including the RTE is also specified. The BSW modules/components and their interfaces are standardized and include the MCAL, HW Abstraction and Service Layer components.

From your question it's a bit unclear what you mean with

some out-of-the-box software components for developers
