If you not specify as
SELECT stxkeys AS k, stxdndistinct AS nd
FROM pg_statistic_ext join pg_statistic_ext_data on (oid = stxoid)
WHERE stxname = 'stts2' \gx
then it won't look like ``-[ RECORD 1 ]``.

I tried the dummy data, the above query, the nd column data look like

[{"attributes": [1, 2], "ndistinct": 2} .....
which does not look like the above.

So I guess the query in doc/src/sgml/perform.sgml would be:

SELECT stxkeys AS k, jsonb_pretty(d.stxdndistinct::text::jsonb) AS nd
FROM pg_statistic_ext join pg_statistic_ext_data d on (oid = d.stxoid)
WHERE stxname = 'stts2' \gx

per related thread, the word "join" needs uppercase?
