This suggests that it can't find it.  The port is going to be part of
the support chip set.  It's been decades since the serial port was a
chip by itself.

Strange that it should then report one anyway.  Is the port enabled in
the BIOS?

FWIW, I had a T22 a while back, and I used the serial port
extensively, so there's probably no serious problem.
