What happens if a ship is forced to disable or discard the Maneuverability Tech upgrade while it is overlapping a planet token?

Treat the ship as if it is overlapping an obstacle for attack and defending purposes. If during the next activation phase the ship cannot move far enough to completely clear the planet or is blocked by another ship treat it as if it overlapped an obstacle.

So if it were equipped to Interceptor 5 and then lost/disabled, the ship could stay on the planet and still do its actions normally?

No, if a ship overlaps an obstacle (page 22 Moving into and Through Obstacles) it skips the Perform Action step (cannot perform any actions including free actions) and would roll 1 attack die. The ship then suffers any damage or critical damage rolled.
