0. emacs -Q
1. M-x man RET cat RET
2. M-: (buffer-name)
=> "*Man cat *"

If you do the same in emacs-29, the result is:
"*Man cat*"

AFAICS this change is due to this commit:

    Run `man' also on remote systems

If the change was intended, it should be called out in NEWS.  If it was
unintended, this patch restores the previous behavior, at least when
calling man locally (I currently can't test a remote call):
