Because 'calc' is not in the Emacs manual.  The command does find
'calc' in the manual where it is described.  Which is what that
command is for: to find stuff you don't know which manual to search it
for.

IOW, if you cannot find something in the manual(s) you think that
something should be in, try the 'd' command or info-apropos as the
last resort.
