It's an adjective phrase called a 'predicative adjunct'. Predicative because it relates to a predicand ("he") and adjunct because it's a supplementary piece of information, non essential, detached from the rest of the clause by a comma (and by a short pause in speech). It's comparable with the predicative complement in "he was frail and seemingly disorientated at times"; we understand that the property of being frail and seemingly disorientated at times applies to the referent of "he".

Category-wise, it's an adjective phrase, comprising a coordination of two adjective phrases "frail" and "seemingly-disorientated at times" (or a coordinated adjective phrase if you prefer). Its function in the clause is that of adjunct (sometimes called an 'adverbial').
