(N/A) No,Bernoulli's equation is not unsteady. It is derived specifically for steady,incompressible,non-viscous,and irrotational flow of a fluid.
$1$. Steady Flow: The velocity,pressure,and density at any point in the fluid remain constant with respect to time.
$2$. Incompressible: The density of the fluid is constant.
$3$. Non-viscous: There is no internal friction or viscosity in the fluid.
$4$. Irrotational: The fluid particles do not rotate about their own axes.
Since the derivation assumes that the flow parameters do not change over time,the equation is applicable only to steady flow conditions.
