Hm, it seems like there's another package:

$ ls /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb*
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.a 
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb.so 
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb_cxx.a 
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.32.4
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so 
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb_cxx-5.3.a 
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb_cxx.so
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb.a 
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb_cxx-5.3.so 
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so
libdb5.3t64:arm64: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so
$ dpkg -L libdb5.3t64
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libdb5.3t64
/usr/share/doc/libdb5.3t64/build_signature_arm64.txt
/usr/share/doc/libdb5.3t64/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libdb5.3t64/copyright
/usr/share/lintian
/usr/share/lintian/overrides
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libdb5.3t64


So there is /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so.

Here's output of that:

$ ldd 
/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/berkeleydb/_berkeleydb.abi3.so
     linux-vdso.so.1 (0x0000f47e383cc000)
     libdb-5.3.so => /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so 
(0x0000f47e38180000)
     libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x0000f47e37fc0000)
     /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 (0x0000f47e3838f000)

BTW, the issue is also reproducible in docker using AArch64 
debian:buster-slim image when trying to install the berkeleydb package 
with pip3.
