To be fair, I think I see "[real] class act" almost always used sarcastically.
I've never seen it used that way.
Any compliment can be repurposed as sarcasm, but it's obscenely cynical to immediately assume a compliment is sarcastic - instead of just a compliment. And by the way, there's no 'real' in the poster's message.
