On Unix-ish systems, "locale -a" should provide the set of
available values.  We don't attempt to document this
because it's so installation-dependent.

Maybe you don't have a suitable locale installed.

The main entry for lc_time in

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-client.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-CLIENT-FORMAT

says "Acceptable values are system-dependent; see Section 23.1 for more
information", and if you follow that link, you'll read

    What locales are available on your system under what names depends on
    what was provided by the operating system vendor and what was
    installed. On most Unix systems, the command locale -a will provide a
    list of available locales.

Not sure what more we could say.
