Thanks for the prompt answer.
I removed my installation, downloaded and installed TL 2022 again and
everything now looks fine: the prefix is 2022 as expected, tlmgr
version is as given by Karl above and package updates work as well.
Unfortunately, I cannot explain why old installer has been used first
time: I downloaded the installer -- that small tar.gz file -- from
texlive webpage and I'm pretty sure that extracted directory name
contained timestamp starting with 2022, i.e. install-tl-2022xxxx.
