That is more than likely your answer, so.... I'm not knowledgable on 
these things, but perhaps the packagers will be able to say more. I'd be 
guided by that page in any case.

No support has been dropped at the source level, so any PG version ought
to work there.  But you might have to build it yourself --- which versions
are available in binary form from prebuilt repositories is a very
different question.

I'd try grabbing the SRPM for whichever version you want and seeing
if it doesn't build on your machine.  Building from SRPMs is not hard,
and it's a good skill to acquire if you're using non-mainstream
hardware.

This is from the Ubuntu repo and Ubuntu pins a Postgres version to each 
Ubuntu version in its repos. That means there will not be newer versions 
available.

The community repo:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/

does not support s390, so that is not a solution.

As Tom Lane said you have the options of building from source or SRPM.
