Bingo.
orapr1@r3prdci1>which sqlplus
/oracle/PR1/920_64/bin/sqlplus
Now the problem is why the heck is that still in the path. I suspect it has

orapr1@r3prdci1>echo $PATH
/oracle/PR1/102_64/bin:/usr/sap/PR1/SYS/exe/run:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64:/usr/local/scripts:/usr/local/scripts/operator:/opt/CA/UnicenterNSM/atech/services/bin
