Note that the error message is literally asking you to:

brew reinstall openssl(at)1(dot)1

not:

brew install openssl(at)1(dot)1

and not:

brew reinstall openssl

Do the reinstall and see if the postgresql formula works now. If it
still doesn't work, the Homebrew discussions forum is a more appropriate
place to follow up: https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions

Also:

brew link openssl(at)1(dot)1

and all the exports you said you added to your .zshrc should not be
needed, so you should:

brew unlink openssl(at)1(dot)1

and revert all your additions.
