Ah, I can see the same when using '/usr/bin/emacs-30.2-pgtk'. I was
using an unreleased version from git, which is why I didn't see that
behavior earlier. Specifically, it was built around a month ago. Looking
at the commit history it seems like this is the relevant one:

Support OSC 8 hyperlinks in man pages
* lisp/man.el: Require `ansi-osc'.
(Man-ansi-osc-handlers): New variable.
(Man-fontify-manpage): Call ansi-osc-apply-on-region to buttonize
OSC 8 hyperlinks. (Bug#81240)
* etc/NEWS: Announce the new feature.
I think the original point of this issue was the behavior when coreutils
programs have their --help output piped or redirected. In that case, I
am okay with disabling the links.
However, here Emacs is using the actual man pages. Losing the links
there would be quite unfortunate, since most programs handle them
perfectly fine. They also work on HTML pages. It is a bit unfortunate,
though, that no released version of Emacs handles them.
