In particular: as per `pacman -F libdb-5.3.so` the file is provided by "db 5.3.28-5". The package was released around 2019-11-18.
So the "db" package is either missing, incomplete or ancient.
Potentially relevant:
FS#38935@xexaxo: nothing I had installed so far required db (according to the "required by" list)
I suspect *db* should indeed be added as a dependency for subversion.
As for the context of
FS#38935, Berkley db support has been retained for backward compatibility with old (svn) servers
