MySQL 5.7 reached extended support end of life 1 year and 4 months ago (31 Oct 2023). Why would you deploy it on an existing/new system?
According to System Requirements for Plesk Obsidian MySQL 5.7 is still supported for the mail database server and for remote database servers.

If you need MySQL 5.7 I would recommend deploying a Docker container for it and connecting Plesk to it. However, you should use a supported MySQL version like 8.0 with support ending in ~1 year. MySQL 8.4 support ends in 7 years (30 Apr 2032).

I know that I have been running MySQL 5.7 on Docker for a few years, but the performance is getting worse and MariaDB is not working

with ubuntu 18.04 everything still worked great

As far as I know non of the current OSes support by Plesk run MySQL 5.7 by default. Using Docker would be my recommendation too, but if that's causing you issue you could consider setting up a separate server with any OS that still supports MySQL 5.7 and use it as a remote database server. Which you can then add to Plesk as an additional external database server. With the added benefit of spreading the load a little.

I installed almalinux 8 and removed mysql 8 and installed mysql 5.7 and then installed Plesk and it works!
