You are correct, @wwk-github.

Probably the best thing ro do is to form what Unix called a "cat page": a formatter man page as part of the build process so that a wider range of page tools will be able to see a reasonably formatted page. Such a "cat page" would be formed from the calc.1 file, nroff formatted, and installed under the help/ directory.

Thank you for this bug report. We plan to fix this in the next release of calc.

Thank you for your patience.
