I don't see the error in "my" man page, sorry.
Right. Instead of hex "2d", as you properly have, I see the UTF-8 sequence "e2 80 90" (Unicode U+2010 Hyphen) in "my" man page.
What do you think of this?: $ man susepaste |col -bx |grep -o -e '-' |wc -l 1
Yes, there is just one hyphen-minus in the whole man page. It is in the title line.
For me: $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

I'm surprised that your LC_CTYPE value is the same as mine. Isn't that the one that should determine character encodings?
It must be something else. I am using Leap 15.4 on this machine.
Oh, and some of us may have installed susepaste from a different repo. I know I have tried several versions.

I think that is current the official version.

When I tried setting LC_ALL=C, the man page was OK (using hex 2d). OK also with LC_CTYPE=C .
I only noticed the problem recently, with not just the susepaste man page BTW, so maybe there is a difference between Leap and Tumbleweed (which I am using). Some man pages are OK, though, and some use mixed hyphen-minus characters in some places, and then semi-randomly other "hyphens" elsewhere (man rsync).
Maybe you should write a bugzilla. My guess is that the source of the manpage does have the "wrong" hyphen, but depending on something there is a conversion to the correct hyphen.
# zcat /usr/share/man/man1/susepaste.1.gz | hexdump -C | less
I see the 2d character there. I don't think the above does any conversion, but troff/groff maybe does.
