low MC high essay vs. high MC low essay

I just got my scores back from the 02/20 SAT. I went up in every section except writing, where my score remained the same (730). However, the breakdown of the writing score is very different: on the first one I took I got 70 on the MC and 10 on the essay, and on the second I got a 76 on the MC and an 8 on the essay (oof)

Am I correct in assuming that the second score is worse than the first due to the low essay score? Do colleges even look at or care about the breakdown of your writing score? If they do, is it worth superscoring just because of this?
