I think it is fixed to work like that, it does here with 28.0.50.
Maybe this news item is relevant
*** New function 'display-buffer-reuse-mode-window' is an action function
suitable for use in 'display-buffer-alist'. For example, to avoid
creating a new window when opening man pages when there's already one,
use
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
'("\\`\\*Man .*\\*\\'" .
(display-buffer-reuse-mode-window
(inhibit-same-window . nil)
(mode . Man-mode))))
under the super heading * Lisp Changes in Emacs 26.1.
> emacs-version "26.3".
Confusing then. But maybe that function was used later for the man
rendering.
