You need to change the syntax to use another pair of {}:
Labeled[{1,2,3},"123",{{Bottom, Center}}]
I agree that the help here is a bit misleading. However, if you go down
to the Scope examples, you will see an example titled
"Control the placement of labels:"
and here you have examples placing labels wherever you want. I often
find these examples in the documentation to be very helpful.
