In PG v10 and up this link goes to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159.
Evidently whoever updated it didn't bother to back-patch into old
branches.

I don't think that really cool to have user-facing documentation which
goes to the void on supported branches, especially if there is an
adequate replacement.  Tom, do you think that this is worth updating?

I didn't quite have the energy to do something about it yesterday,
but if you do, feel free.

(I'd suggest looking up the commit that fixed it, to see if it fixed
anything else.)

Sure, that was my plan.  The change is from d542859, which did not go
to 9.6 and older, and committed.  There was one conflict for libpq
which was simple enough to fix, and I have also double-checked the
rest of the docs for rogue links to RFCs.
