Additional Information
The result in later versions of ArcGIS Pro matches the expected area value when compared to the arcpy geometry getArea() function, as documented here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/classes/geometry.htm. The geodesic area uses the preserve shape option for getArea, as documented in the Calculate Geometry Attributes tool reference.Workaround
Project the polygon on the projected coordinate system and run the Calculate Geometry Attributes geoprocessing tool.
