Found the issue: T(imes) is unconditionally stored to a variable which 
is used by SH macro:

$ cat /usr/share/groff/1.23.0/tmac/an.tmac
...
.de1 SH
.  fam \\*[an*body-family]
...
.ds an*body-family T \" Times
...

Fixed upstream in:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/tmac/an.tmac?id=6e03ad16ea8ed053fbffb5296d2670d6cdb4e931

Postscript output looks sane then:

%%EndPageSetup
/F0 10/Helvetica-Oblique@0 SF -.4(TO)72 48 S(OL).4 E/F1 10/Helvetica@0
SF 174.995(\(1\) Section).5 F F0 -.4(TO)177.775 G(OL).4 E F1(\(1\)).5 E
/F2 10.95/Helvetica-Bold@0 SF(NAME)72 84 Q F1 -1.2(To)108 96 S
(ol \255 do something interesting)1.2 E -1.2(To)72 768 S 174.06
(olset 2023-07-23)1.2 F(1)202.87 E 0 Cg EP
