That man page is written in doc rather than in an.

With modern groff you have to pass -man-old to get the old an macros
w/o also supporting the newer doc macros.  If you do that with ssh.1
you see the same results as woman shows.

This means that what woman needs is support for the doc macro set.
(Sometimes AKA the mdoc macro set.)
