I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, and the program is present:

$ apt-cache search gnumeric
diffoscope - in-depth visual diff tool for files, archives and directories
diffoscope-minimal - in-depth visual diff tool for files, archives and
directories (minimal package)
gir1.2-gnumeric - GObject introspection data for the Gnumeric spreadsheet
gnumeric - spreadsheet application for GNOME - main program
gnumeric-common - spreadsheet application for GNOME - common files
gnumeric-doc - spreadsheet application for GNOME - documentation
gnumeric-plugins-extra - spreadsheet application for GNOME - additional plugins
libspreadsheet-writeexcel-perl - module to create Excel spreadsheets
python-xlwt-doc - module for writing Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files - doc
python3-xlwt - module for writing Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files - Python 3.x

$ lsb_release -a

Maybe it's a Linux Mint thing. Perhaps you should ask on one of their
