Intentional change or regression?
IDK, ask upstream.
OK, will do. Didn't find anything similar here:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=groff
IMO a regression, obvious in the postscript output:
$ groff -man -T ps -f H <<EOF
.TH TOOL "1" "2023-07-23" "Toolset" "Section"
.SH NAME
Tool \- do something interesting
EOF

/Times-* should not appear above.
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
