You have

Info manual `(ert) Top'

in the doc, but the magical phrase is "info node", according to
`help-xref-info-regexp'.  We could add "manual" as an alternative...

"\\<[Ii]nfo[ \t\n]+\\(node\\|anchor\\)[ \t\n]+['`‘]\\([^'’]+\\)['’]"

But this reminds me -- why are we so strict about the Info links,
anyway?  Could `(foo) Bar' in a doc string be anything but a manual
reference?
