According to jisho, when 三分 means three minutes, it is pronounced さんぷん,
however Google Translate mentions it as さんぶ. Are any of these wrong, or is it
dialect? Are there other pronunciations?

Jisho is correct, you should pronounce it さんぷん.

answer
「三分」 can be read in three different ways -- pun, bun, and bu.

"Three minutes": 「さん **ぷん** 」

"One third": 「さん **ぶん** のいち」（三分の一）

"Percentage": 「 **ぶ** 」 "My batting average is 230." =
「ボクの[打率]{だりつ}は[二割三分]{にわりさんぶ}です。」
