The web_page_url attribute of the `mailman` list does not look like
`http(s)://host.name/...`

Every Mailman 2.1 installation must have a site list, usually named
`mailman`.

The `mailman` list is probably public.

Yes it is. It is the site list which is a list like any other. See
<https://www.list.org/mailman-install/site-list.html>
> How to solve this.
Possibly running fix_url will fix this.
/path/to/mailman/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url mailman
That should allow you to access the listinfo and admin pages for this
list and you can then set its Privacy options... -> Subscription rules
-> advertised to No. You will probably need to use the site password to
log in to the admin page. If you don't have one, you can set it via
/path/to/mailman/bin/mmsitepass PASSWORD
or you can set a list password via
/path/to/mailman/bin/change_pw -l mailman -q -p PASSWORD
